Let’s just face the music. The family does not like when I mess with a family favourite. There are certain recipes that they hold sacred, that they believe new recipes should not even be tried. Shocking. I know. So when they asked what was for dinner, I was all like, “don’t get excited, it’s a new recipe, It’s spaghetti, but not the usual way I make, I am trying something new.” Oh, the guilt. I was all acting like a criminal, while they were all doubting my sensibilities. So I just got to the kitchen to make this recipe from Fantastical Sharing of Recipes , and let the food do the talking. We got 5 thumbs up. Tentatively. They all agreed that is was very good, but still prefer the old standards. At least there were smiles of spaghetti faced goodness, while we ate.
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 can chicken broth
- 1 (26 oz.) can spaghetti sauce
- 1/2 cup water
- 8 oz. spaghetti, broken into pieces
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
- Brown beef with onion and garlic in large skillet. Drain fat.
- Add broth, sauce and water. Bring to a boil. Add spaghetti, and stir in. Reduce heat to a medium simmer and continue to cook for about 20 minutes, covered, stirring often. Make sure you separate noodles while stirring so they don’t stick together. When cooked through, top with parmesan cheese.
- Eat and enjoy!
