To Use:

Brown 1 lb. ground beef: drain. Add 2 cups water, 1/2 cup seasoning mix and 2 cups uncooked egg noodles and stir. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat and simmer covered for 15 - 20 minutes or until noodles are tender. Top with 1/2 cup sour cream. Serve immediately.
( I haven't tried this one yet )
Chili Mac (stage 2)
Brown one pound ground beef and drain. Add 1 cup (I added 1 1/2 cups)water, 1 1/2 cups uncooked pasta, 30 oz. can chopped tomatoes, 1 tablespoon chili powder and 1/2 cup seasoning mix. Simmer covered for 20 minutes or until pasta is tender.
For a stage one version of this , extra black pepper and salt, and subbing carrots for the tomatoes were suggested by other FG members.
