Spaghetti and Beef

As a mom of two I find it necessary to create meals that are easy to prepare, yet satisfying to both kids and adults alike. I came up with this recipe after being inspired by a pasta lunch I purchased from the deli at one of our local supermarkets.

Ingredients:

  • 16 oz box spaghetti
  • 2 – 3 lbs ground beef
  • 3 cups good pasta sauce
  • 1 can (14 oz) whole kernel corn
  • Salt
  • Black Pepper
  • Onion Powder
  • Garlic Powder


Directions:

  1. Cook spaghetti according to package instructions (ensure that water is adequately salted before adding spaghetti).
  2. Season ground beef (salt, black pepper, onion and garlic powders) and cook thoroughly in a non-stick or lightly greased skillet. I must emphasize that the meat must be thoroughly cooked
  3. Add sauce to ground beef/turkey and mix well.
  4. Drain pasta and place in a large bowl. Add beef mixture, then the corn and combine.  Allow the flavors to infuse for a few minutes before serving.


Serves 6 – 8

Tip: Ground Turkey could be used for an even healthier meal
