This is a super helpful recipe I found in a Company's Coming cookbook. The whole family tucks into this dish with a salad on the side. I also like it because it follows the technique of Hamburger Helper (read: easy to do) without having to buy a box from the store. Ingredients:
1 lb lean ground beef |
1 cup chopped onion |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1 medium zucchini, sliced |
1 cup chopped fresh mushrooms |
1 cup water |
2 cups spaghetti sauce |
1/2 teaspoon dried basil |
1/2 teaspoon sugar |
oregano, just a pinch |
6 ounces uncooked spaghetti, broken into 1 to 2 inch lengths |
1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese or 1/2 cheddar cheese |
Directions:
1. Scramble-fry ground beef, onion and garlic in large non-stick frying pan 3-5 minutes.
2. Add zucchini and mushrooms.
3. Cook for 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is no longer pink.
4. Drain.
5. Add water, spaghetti sauce, basil, sugar and oregano.
6. Heat until boiling.
7. Add pasta.
8. Reduce heat.
9. Cover.
10. Simmer for 30 minutes or until pasta is tender but firm and liquid is mostly absorbed.
11. Add mozzarella cheese.
12. Stir until melted.
