MY DAD'S ITALIAN HAMBURGER HELPER

Steps:

• 1 Cook pasta as directed on box.
• 2 Meanwhile, brown ground beef with garlic powder and Italian seasoning.
• 3 Drain grease and add sauce.
• 4 Heat.
• 5 Drain pasta and add to sauce mixture.
• 6 Stir in cheese until it just melts.
• 7 Serve with garlic bread and salad.
• My Tip's: The only thing I added was a little bit of chopped onion when I brown the beef. I used a bit less pasta and a bit more beef (approx 25%). I used 1 cup cheddar cheese and 1/3 cup of cottage cheese to make it creamy at the end. It was twice as yummy the next day for lunch. This was a quick, easy recipe that I will be working into my OAMC routine. Today, I added garlic and chopped onion to the hamburg, like always. Next time, I will use half the pasta called for and will use my usual mix of basil and oregano in place of the italian seasonings.
