Notes
- See video in post above.
- I use 93/7 lean ground beef so I don't have to drain the ground beef (I use it because it is better for us, not having to drain it is definitely a plus). If you use ground beef that isn't lean I suggest draining it before you add the pasta sauce and water then proceed with the rest of the recipe.
