Mom's recipes, yum! Who doesn't love the good comfort foods from your childhood. This is another one of those recipes my Mom always made, and with a small variation (diced tomatoes), it is still a family favorite. It's not too often anymore that I use boxed food or mixes, but this will always be an exception! My daughter requests this meal more than any other! It is also very quick, so great as a week night meal!
You need:
1 pound vermicelli pasta, cooked
1 pound ground beef
1 onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, diced
1- 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes
2- 15 oz cans tomato sauce
1- 1.5 oz package spaghetti sauce mix
1 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
salt and pepper
Directions:
In a large saute pan cook ground beef, garlic, onions, salt, pepper and 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning until beef is no longer pink.
The ground beef I buy is very lean, so I usually put a small amount of leftover bacon grease in the pan when browning the beef. It adds so much flavor, it's amazing! I don't brown burger any other way!
Add diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, packet mix, pepper and remaining 1 tsp of Italian seasoning. At this time, I start cooking the noodles, and let the sauce simmer while the noodles are cooking. Plate noodles and sauce and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese!
Enjoy!
Best thing about ground beef is that it is inexpensive and versatile. That is why many ingredients complements its flavor.
