Ground Beef Wonder
Ground Beef Wonder is one of those delightful dishes that comes together when you’re just looking for something to eat.
If you cook very much, you’re going to have leftovers from time to time. It’s what you do with those leftovers that makes a difference. This Ground Beef Wonder came together with some simple ingredients I keep on hand, along with a little leftover Mac and Cheese, some leftover Farfalle in Alfredo Sauce, and a tad bit of leftover sausage gravy.
In a sauce pan on medium heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 medium sweet onion, finely chopped. Let that saute for about a minute then add 1 tablespoon minced garlic. Saute 30 to 40 seconds and add 1 1/2 Roma tomatoes (seeded and diced into small pieces) Saute 30 to 40 seconds and add one pound cooked ground beef. (Precook the ground beef and add just a bit of water to get all the flavors infused before pouring into the sauce pan.)
Mix well, add 1/4 cup Farfalle in Alfredo Sauce and cook 30-40 seconds. Mix well, add 2 1/2 cups Mac and Cheese, cook 30 seconds. Add 1/2 cup sausage gravy. Let all ingredients incorporate and heat up all the way through. Taste for seasoning to see if you want to add anything else. Finish it off by adding 1 cup finely chopped spinach and stir well.
Remove from heat and serve.
This would be a hard recipe to recreate exactly this way as you may not have all the leftover ingredients. However, take what you have and create your own Ground Beef Wonder by adding bits of dishes you’ve enjoyed. You may be pleasantly surprised at what you create.

Charlie, at times we tend to have more leftovers. I like seeing what new dishes I can prepare using dishes that we’ve already enjoyed. That’s part of the fun of cooking to me.
