Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 package Hamburger Helper™ beef pasta
  • 3 2/3 cups hot water
  • 2 cups frozen cut green beans
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, if desired

Steps

  • 1
    Brown beef in 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally; drain.
  • 2
    Stir in uncooked Pasta, Sauce Mix, hot water and beans. Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat; cover and simmer about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beans are tender.
  • 3
    Remove from heat; cover and let stand about 5 minutes or until sauce is as thick as you'd like, (sauce will thicken as it stands). Sprinkle with cheese.

  • The fat content of ground beef depends on the cut of meat it came from. Regular ground beef—made from less-expensive cuts—contains up to 30 percent fat. Moderately priced ground chuck contains just enough fat to give it flavor and make it juicy. The leanest (around 5 percent fat) is the most expensive and is made from round and sirloin cuts.
  • Of course you can use French-fried onions instead of the seasoned croutons!
