Yield: 6 servings.
Cuisine: Asian Dinners, Asian Recipes
Ingredients: 8 ounces uncooked spaghetti; 1/2 pound cooked lean ground beef (90% lean); 1 package (16 ounces) frozen stir-fry vegetable blend, thawed; 1 jar (12 ounces) home-style beef gravy; 1/4 teaspoon reduced-sodium soy sauce; 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder; 1/8 teaspoon pepper

Our home economists modified Penny Auclair's recipe to use up extra cooked ground beef. “I tried this when I was going to school full-time and wanted something quick, foolproof and delicious,” writes the Amesbury, Massachusetts cook. “My family loves it.” TIP: “For a change, use chicken breasts and chicken gravy instead of ground beef and beef gravy,” Penny recommends.

Ingredients

8 ounces uncooked spaghetti
1/2 pound cooked lean ground beef (90% lean)
1 package (16 ounces) frozen stir-fry vegetable blend, thawed
1 jar (12 ounces) home-style beef gravy
1/4 teaspoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Directions

Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat for 2-3 minutes or until heated through. Add the vegetables, gravy, soy sauce, garlic powder and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 8-10 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Drain spaghetti; stir into beef mixture.

We thought this was pretty good! I did add extra soy sauce and will probably add a little ginger next time. Not sure I'd really call it Lo Mein, but it hit the spot for dinner last night!

I served this tonight with fried rice and egg rolls. I was very happy I added the rice and egg rolls because the low mein went uneaten.

This was a simple dish to make. It just needs a little more salt or soy sauce.

This recipe I thought my family would love but they did not. We will not be making this again.
