Ok....I'm experimenting and these came out REALLY well. This weeks challenge...COOK OUT OF THE HOUSE!. It forces you to get creative and truly see how the budget can stretch.
Spaghetti Meat Sauce - Total Cost - $6
1 pkg. ground beef (1.5 lbs) and frozen is fine.
1 can Hunt's Garlic and Herb Canned pasta sauce
1/2 onion, large diced
1 T. garlic powder
1 tsp garlic salt
2 tsp. dried basil
1 tsp oregano
Simmer all ingredients on LOW for 8 hrs. Boil noodles of your choice and serve on top. Note: I put the ground beef in a perfectly frozen rectangle and didn't break up the piece until time to serve.
