Pantry Reprieve

It's the end of the month and you didn't go to the store. What are you going to fix? How about an all time classic, served in a slightly different way. This handy dandy to the rescue dish has elements of beef vegetable soup, yet served like it was spaghetti! Hearty and hunky this taste sensation has been hiding in plain sight in your pantry.

Hamburger, onion, a can of soup and some linguine will surprise you with a lost cost, on hand meal.

Checking the pantry we find:

1 lbs hamburger

1 onion, chopped

2 Tbs flour

½ box linguine pasts

½ tsp horseradish

Salt + pepper

Directions:

Put the water on to boil for pasta (if only cooking for 2, use ½ box)

Chop the onion.

In a skillet heat 2 tbs oil and add the onion. - Hint: use ½ teaspoon of sugar to hide the cooking onion smell from your future.

Add the hamburger and cook, stirring occasionally for about 10 minutes. Add salt + pepper to you taste.

When pasta is done, drain and set aside.

When meat is completely brown, use a slotted spoon to remove half: this will save for another dish.

Drain liquids from skillet and stir in the flour. Stir for about 2 minutes, then pour in the can of soup. Continue to stir so that will thicken. You want it thick gravy like. When cooked, stir in the ½ tsp of horseradish.

Please taste this before you add any more, you want just a taste to liven up the dish, not to clear out your sinuses!
