Homemade Hamburger Helper

What you need:

    • 2 Tbsp. chili powder
    • 1 Tbsp. minced garlic
    • 2 Tbsp. dried minced onions
    • 2 Tbsp. dried parsley
    • 3 Tbsp. beef bouillon
    • 2 Tbsp. cornstarch
    • 1 Tbsp. brown gravy mix
    • 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
    • 2 lb. ground beef
    • 1 can (8 oz.) tomato sauce
    • 2 1/2 cups chicken broth
    • 2 1/2 to 3 cups water
    • 2 cups pasta, like bowtie pasta or elbow macaroni

Directions:

    1. In a bowl, mix together all the spices. Set aside.
    2. In a stockpot, add ground beef and cook and crumble over medium high until browned.
    3. Add spice mix and stir well. Add tomato sauce and stir well.
    4. Add chicken broth and water - 3 cups if you want it very saucy - stir well.
    5. Add macaroni and stir. Then bring to a boil.
    6. Once boiling, reduce heat to a simmer and cover.
    7. Cook, covered, for 15 minutes or until pasta is tender. Make sure you stir every couple of minutes so the pasta doesn't stick to the bottom and burn.
