Holy cow! Has it actually been almost three years since I've posted a recipe? Screw that. Let's do something easy peasy. I think every mom needs a recipe for Beef-a-Roni (home-made, obviously. Screw that creepy Hamburger Helper Hand).
1 lb ground beef
2 cans tomato sauce
1 can tomato paste
two roma tomatoes (diced)
1 bag of noodles (which ever variety catches your fancy: shells, bowties, rigatoni, etc.)
three cloves of garlic
one small white onion, coarsely chopped
dash of Worstershire sauce
salt & pepper to taste
1 tsp paprika
1 cup shredded cheese (preferably colby/jack blend)
Go ahead and immediately start boiling the water for the noodles. This recipe is that fast. Knead onions, garlic, spices, and Worsterchire sauce into the meat, and cook in a large pan until the meat is thoroughly browned.
Your water for the noodles should be boiling by now, so add the noodles to the water with a tbsp of olive oil (or Canola) so your noodles don't stick.
Add diced tomatoes, and stir. As the tomatoes cook, add canned tomato sauce and paste. Mix thoroughly as the mixture simmers. Add cheese, allow to melt and then stir into the sauce. Let this all simmer until your noodles are al dente.
Drain nooodles. Combine noodles and sauce in a large container, stir and serve.
Cost: $10-16
Serves: 6-10
