To prepare, you will typically brown ground beef in a skillet. Once the beef is cooked, you drain off any excess fat. Then, you add the contents of the dinner mix, along with a specified amount of water, to the skillet. The mixture is brought to a boil, then simmered until the pasta is tender and the sauce has thickened to your liking. Stirring occasionally helps ensure even cooking and prevents sticking.
