One of the quickest, tastiest, and EASIEST recipes to make. This is an updated version from their original Hamburger and Ground Meats recipe book, but still as tasty. It is a regular on the home menu rotation. I do like to amp up the beef flavor, so I added a tablespoon of beef bouillon to the 4Cs of beef broth, took 3.5 oz spaghetti (from the original recipe) and used prepared meatballs (instead of making my own). Sooo goood!
