Hamburger Houdini
Since starting my blog in November, the amount of groceries I buy every week have almost doubled and sometimes I am not using everything that I buy. This weekend, I decided to not buy any food, except for the necessities and work on cleaning out my pantry and freezer. I have a ton of frozen vegetables in the freezer and I thought this recipe was a great way to use them up. The recipe was fast, simple, healthy, and tasty. I believe the title of the dish means that this is a great way to blend vegetables that children usually don't care for into a delicious dish. I love vegetables, but this definitely a good recipe to try for those that do not.

Ingredients:
1 lb. ground beef (I used ground turkey)
2 cups mixed vegetables, frozen
1/2 box uncooked Farfalle pasta
4 cups beef broth
2 tbsp. Dill, chopped, if using dried, cut amount in half
Sour Cream
French fried onions
Directions:
Brown beef in large saute pan with lid.
Mix in vegetables and pasta. Add broth. Mix, bring to a simmer, and cover. Let cook for about 15 minutes, or until pasta is cooked through.
Season with salt, pepper, and Dill. Serve with sour cream and onions.
I'm so excited you tried this. Hamburger Houdini was a staple of my childhood, where both my parents worked full-time, but we always ate dinner together.
