Spanish Michael Spaghetti – A friend gave me this recipe, I ask her why it was named Spanish Michael, and she didn’t know. At first I thought it sounded terrible to add milk to spaghetti, but was willing to give it a try. Thank You Sharen it is delicious and quick.
Fry 1 lb. lean hamburger with one small onion, drain any oil. To season the meat I added my favorite seasoning 1 Tbsp. dry beef rub mix or (1-1/2 tsp. sea salt, 1 tsp. black pepper, 3/4 tsp. garlic salt or powder, 1/3 tsp. thyme leaves, 1 tsp. basil leaves)
