Hamburger Noodle-y Stuff

This is one of our favorite weeknight meals.

Hamburger Noodle-y Sauce

1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onions (optional)
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
1 tsp salt
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp pepper
a 5x batch of cream of chicken...recipe
8 oz. cream cheese
2 pounds pasta

Make the 5x batch of cream of chicken soup. Melt the cream cheese into it when it's thick.

Begin the pasta water heating to a boil. Cook pasta so it is almost finished when the meat is done.

Cook the meat with the onion and garlic. When browned, melt the butter over it. Then sprinkle flour over that and stir to combine the flour and butter. Add the meat to the cream cheese sauce.

Combine prepared, drained pasta and the meat and cheese sauce. Serve with salad.
