Notes
This dish does not have a lot of extra sauce. If you would like yours to have more sauce then increase the water by 1/4 cup.
I also did not put any salt in it because we are trying to cut down on sodium. You could add a 1/4-1/2 teaspoon of salt if you wish.
I use lean ground beef, I spray my skillet with cooking spray before I put the ground beef in and I don't have to drain it!
