Hamburger-Noodle Feast
by - -
serves: 6
  source: Good Eats Dinner
prep time: 5 minutes
cook time: 20 minutes
requires some spices (see below for two options)
Ingredients:
  1 lb   uncooked noodles
  1 lb   extra-lean hamburger
  1   large onion, chopped
  1 jar/24oz   spaghetti sauce, any flavor
  1 pkg/10oz   frozen corn
  1 pkg/10oz   frozen peas
  8 oz   shredded or grated cheese
Directions:
  1. Cook the noodles according to package directions, draining them while they're slightly underdone (they'll cook more later).
2. In a large nonstick skillet, brown the hamburger and onion. Drain in a strainer or colander when done, to remove excess fat.
3. Add the spaghetti sauce and frozen veggies, and cook on low heat until the vegetables are thawed and warmed through.
4. Mix in the spices, then top with cheese and continue cooking on low heat until cheese melts.

Variations:
Mexican feast: Use Monterey Jack or Cheddar cheese, and a tsp. (or more, to taste) of cumin.

Italian feast: Use Parmesan or Mozzarella cheese, and a tsp. (or more, to taste) of Italian seasoning.
