Recipe - One Pan Curly-Roni And Meat Sauce

1 pound Ground beef
1 cup Onion, , chopped
1 Clove Garlic, , finely
minced
1 teaspoon Salt
One half teaspoon Pepper
1 tablespoon Parsley flakes
One fourth teaspoon Sweet basil flakes
1 tablespoon Chili powder, (opt.)
2 cn (8oz) Tomato sauce, (or 1
15oz. can)
2 tablespoon Grated parmesan cheese
1 pack (8oz) American Beauty
CurlyRoni

Cook beef, onion, and garlic in a large fry pan until meat is lightly
browned and onion is soft. Add remaining ingredients except cheese and
CurlyRoni. Add 3 cups of water, bring to boil, add uncooked CurlyRoni.
Stir, return to boil, cover and cook over medium heat 15 minutes, stirring
frequently. Add grated cheese, stir well, cover, turn off heat and let stay
on burner 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Reheat if necessary. Makes 6
cups.

NOTES : I cooked this in an electric skillet with a lid, and used about
1/5 of a 2pound Kraft American cheese stick, grated and sprinkled on top,
and then sprinkled on the Parmesan cheese. This dish is very good. I used
to take it to camping potluck dinners and everyone liked it.
