We are having;
Grandpa's Hamburger helper.
My own recipe because the commercial versions are full of chemicals like MSG.
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil.
1 Cup of ground round beef, 90% lean, or Chuck.
1 small can of sliced mushrooms ( or 6 fresh white ones)
1/4 cup diced onions.
1/4 cup of sliced celery
1/4 cup of diced green pepper (optional).
1 tsp of Oregano
1 tsp of Basil
1 tsp of Cilantro
1 12 oz bag or box of Medium Macaroni pasta.
the cheat;
one 15 oz jar of prepared Alfredo sauce.
Or make your own.
Making rich, creamy, cheesy Alfredo sauce is so easy, you just might skip the jarred stuff in favor of homemade from now on. Get easy step-by-step instructions and recipes to try.
