Owwie, Gooie Hamburger and Noodles

This would be Hambuger Helper if bought in a box. I find this better and just as easy. Often, when I have ground beef there will be small amounts left over after making burgers. I wrap these and toss them in the freezer. Later I use them to make meat sauce or this dish. If you are going to make this after work, put the frozen meat in the fridge before you leave for work. If you decided to do this when you arrive home..defrost the ground meat in your microwave. NEED: 1 pound ( approx.) of ground meat -- can be less..but not less than 1 /2 pound. 1/2 pound of the noodle of your choice 1/2 onion 1 cup shredded cheese ( any) 1/4 cup peas ( optional---can use green beans, corn...broccoli if desired) 1/4 cup carrots--dices or shredded salt pepper garlic powder oregano In 2 qt. sauce pan..cook noodles as directed on package-I add a bit of Olive Oil to prevent them from sticking together Brown and drain ground meat Dice onion, and carrots..add to meat along with any other veggies you choose to use cook on medium until carrots are slightly soft. Drain noodles and add to the mix Sprinkle cheese over the top and stir Sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic powder** ** I don t measure these items..I just lightly sprinkle over the surface. Sprinkle oregano in the same manner.....Lightly...don t make it all green..just LIGHTLY. Stir together and cover for 15 minutes. Stir again and let sit for 5 minutes and serve.
