Easy Recipe

I was sitting here thinking of things I could make for supper and I thought of this recipe and though I should share it.  It's a Hamburger Helper-style recipe that uses gluten free noodles.  It would also be good with regular noodles but those of us that occasionally rely on the simpleness of Hamburger Helper and have had to quit, it's a good substitute.  I got it from a recipe book called "Wheat-Free, Gluten-Free Cookbook for Kids and Busy Adults".

Skillet Supper
1 lb. ground beef
2 cups water
1 15 ounce jar spaghetti sauce
1 tsp. oregano
2 cups gluten free elbow macaroni
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
3/4 cup grated Parmesan

1.  Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat.  When meat is browned, stir in the water, spaghetti sauce, and oregano.  Bring to a simmer over medium heat.

2.  Stir in macaroni.  Cover the pan and simmer for 6 minutes until macaroni is just cooked, stirring frequently.  Stir in cheeses.  Cover pan and let stand for 1 minute or until cheese is melted.

In my first experience with this recipe we discovered that the noodles really need more than 6-7 minutes to become tender.  Great for leftovers!
