1 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
6 cups hot water
1 box Hamburger Helper® beef pasta
1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves, crushed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 medium cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 can (4 oz) Green Giant® mushroom pieces and stems, drained
2 tablespoons dry red wine, if desired
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

1.) In 4-quart Dutch oven, cook beef and onion over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is brown; drain.

2.) Stir in hot water, Sauce Mix, basil, salt, pepper and garlic. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly.

3.) Reduce heat. Cover; simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in uncooked Pasta, mushrooms and wine. Cover; cook 10 minutes longer. Stir in parsley.

A Dutch oven is a large pot or kettle with a rounded lid that usually holds at least 3 1/2 quarts of liquid. It’s shorter than a stockpot and smaller in diameter, too.

If your family loves mushrooms, add two cans instead of just one.
