I took a walk in the sunshine with the baby today and stopped at the market down the road to pick up some cabbage for tomorrow night. While there, I perused the meat section, mostly out of curiosity as this was one of those hole-in-the-wall markets rather than a big chain. I found a package of lean ground beef, just under a pound, for a few bucks and picked it up. Then, with the baby enjoying playtime in her playpen, I whipped this up in about 15 minutes.
Ingredients:
About a pound, or a little less, lean ground beef
3/4 to 1 cup milk
1 tsp parsley flakes
1/4 tsp seasoned salt
1/8 tsp. ground black pepper
2 Tbsp. flour
Half a bag of egg noodles
Brown the ground beef in a large frying pan on medium heat, breaking into smaller pieces as it cooks.
Start cooking the egg noodles in a separate pot as you cook this; it helps if you start the water boiling before you begin to prepare the meat. Drain the meat if you want; I didn't, but I like animal fat. Once the beef is mostly cooked, add all other ingredients and simmer on low until egg noodles are done.
Drain the water out of noodles and fill two bowls, topping with the meat mixture. Serves two, and kinda tastes like Hamburger Helper only without all the processed crap. I recommend also serving a side of greens or something for fiber intake. Quite tasty, and easy.
