Directions:

1. On a medium-high heat setting, employ a large skillet to brown the ground beef, breaking it into smaller pieces using a spatula. This process should take around 5 minutes.
2. Proceed to transfer the browned beef into the slow cooker pot, adding the diced onions, minced garlic, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes with their juices, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, salt, pepper, Italian seasonings, and bay leaves.
3. Cover the slow cooker and allow it to work its magic. This entails 8 hours of cooking on the low setting or 4 hours on the high setting.
4. When the slow cooker is nearing the end of its cooking cycle, cook the pasta as directed by the package instructions.
5. Integrate the freshly cooked pasta into the concoction.
6. Serve this delightful creation while it’s still piping hot.

Pro tip:
Should you desire a thinner sauce, it’s advised to reserve approximately 1 cup of the cooking water and incorporate it into the slow cooker. Adjust with additional cooking water as necessary to achieve your desired sauce consistency.
