Monique's Beef & Pasta Skillet
"My husband grew up on Hamburger Helper, Wonder Bread & Miracle Whip. My childhood was different, my mother is the most amazing cook. So good in fact that this Christmas our only gift was her cooking :-)
I wanted to recreate his childhood favorite using fresh ingredients we all have readily available on a budget. As simple as my recipe is, it is far better then a pack of outdated dried pasta and dehydrated tomato sauce and he LOVES it!
Enjoy, mix and match with your own ideas to this childhood classic so many of you have had. I can wait to see your reviews and ideas :-)"

directions

- While pasta is cooking chop your white and green onions.
- Cook ground beef on medium heat until half way done then drain, put back in skillet with white onion, when soft add corn, then green onion. Next add the cooked pasta and season well with the above seasonings. Stir till combined.
