Beef Noodles

This past Saturday, we had what we like to call adult hamburger helper for dinner. I grew up eating a lot of hamburger helper and have always liked it but this has so much more flavor. Kyle even likes it and he is soooo not a helper fan.

Beef Noodles
Slightly adapted from Homemade By Holman (one of my favorite blogs for recipes)

Serves 4

1 lb ground beef
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 pkg wide egg noodles
1 can cream of mushroom soup
4 oz velveeta
1/2 cup milk (I use whole milk, but any kind will do)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (I just kind of toss in however much I want)
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
Green onions (optional)
mushrooms (optional)
Minced onion (optional)

Brown ground beef with garlic and drain liquid. Cook noodles. After beef is browned, add soup, velveeta and milk. After cheese melts, add onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper, and noodles. Add shredded cheese and stir until it melts. Serve with chopped green onions on the side so people can add how much they want. We didn't this time, but sometimes we like to sauté some chopped onions with the beef and add in some mushrooms, canned or fresh.

We served this with spicy corn (a can of corn heated with butter and Tony Chacheres) and garlic bread, which I burned. Oh well. It was still good.

Once again, I didn't think to take a picture so here's one from Homemade By Holman.
