Beef and Tomato Macaroni Soup

I am not very fond of ground beef, so it's always nice when I do find a recipe with ground beef in it that I do like and I really liked this soup... especially the broth!

1# ground beef
1 cup onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
6 cups very strong beef broth {I made my own with Better Than Bouillon, roasted beef base}
1- 28 oz. can diced tomatoes
1- 28 oz. can whole tomatoes {next time I would use diced for both cans!}
1/2 cup ketchup
1 1/2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 Tbsp. brown sugar
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
2 cups dry elbow macaroni

Brown meat, onions and garlic, until meat is no longer pink, Drain grease off. Place in 6 qt. crock pot with beef broth, tomatoes, ketchup, worcestershire, brown sugar, and Italian seasonings.
Cook on low 8 hours, or I cooked it on high for 4 hours. The last 25 minutes stir in
the dry pasta.
