What to make with?

Question

I never bought ground beef before (I know, I know, how sad). I was thinking of making some sort of pasta and beef dish with cheese. MMM, I have shredded 4 Cheese. Maybe a casserole? I don't know. Any ideas, suggestions, and/or recipes that you may want to share with me including pasta and ground beef? THANKS!

Answer 1

Start browing ground beef in a sauce pan or frying pan
Add 1 can of tomato sauce and sprinkle genrously with all purpose seasoning ( I use Adobo, about 1/2tbsp per one pound of beef)
Take half a medium onion
half a green bell pepper
5 cloves of garlic (crushed or minced)
You can mix these in a food processor or add them to your meat finely chopped
Cook meat til completely browned
Boil pasta according to package directions
(you can make the whole box & have left overs)
add 1 jar of spaghetti sauce, any kind you like mix all ingredient together and sprinkle with cheese when serving

It's fast, easy and absolutely delicious!

This recipe calls for shredded Cheddar, but the 4 cheese blend should work just fine
