Beefy Noodles With Sour Cream

6 Servings

INGREDIENTS:

2 Cups Ziti (Or Pasta Of Your Choice)
1 Pound Ground Beef
1 Teaspoon Vegetable Oil
1 Cup Onion, Chopped
1 Cup Fresh Mushrooms, Sliced
2 Cups Vegetable Juice
1 Tablespoon Ketchup
1/2 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/2 Teaspoon Celery Salt
1/4 Teaspoon Dried Oregano
1 Cup Sour Cream
Salt, To Taste
Pepper, To Taste

DIRECTIONS:

Place the ziti in 2-1/2 quarts of already boiling unsalted water and cook until tender or according to package directions, approximately 12 minutes. Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Saute chopped onion, add beef and cook, turning and breaking up until it begins to crumble and brown. Add mushrooms. Cook until the beef is completely browned. Add the vegetable juice, ketchup, garlic powder, celery salt and oregano. Stir well to mix and reduce the heat to medium low.

Simmer the mixture while the ziti finishes cooking, stirring occasionally. Drain the ziti, add it to the skillet and stir well. Stir in the sour cream, salt and pepper and cook for an additional minute to heat through.
