Ditch the Box - Salisbury Beef Helper

Another installment in the "Ditch the Box" series...This allows you to know EXACTLY what your family is eating and they are so much healthier & tastier than the store bought mixes.

Salisbury Beef Helper

Ingredients for the pantry kit:
1 1/2- 2 cups uncooked egg noodles
1 sauce packet:  2/3 cup powdered milk
1 Tbp. corn starch
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. each: Onion Powder
Garlic Powder
1 Tbp sugar

Mix "sauce packet" in a bowl with a whisk, place in small Ziploc bag. Put pasta in gallon bag, place sauce packet inside. You can put the directions directly on the bag or on an index card to reuse next time. I actually printed up 4 cards since I try to keep 4 of these prepared. 
                                          
To cook for dinner:
Fresh Ingredients for cooking day:
1 lb. ground beef (or turkey)
3 cups hot water
1./2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

Brown ground beef in large skillet, drain grease, add hot water, pasta and contents of sauce packet.  Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer on low about 12 minutes stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender.  Turn off heat and uncover. Let skillet dinner sit for about 5 minutes. This will allow sauce to thicken a bit.
