How Do I Make Meat Sauce with Green Beans?

Here is how you make Meat Sauce with Green Beans:

This recipe provides 4 fairly generous servings. Lighly steam or microwave the green beans to desired tenderness - the crunchier the better. stiffer beans make the servings look bigger!Brown the ground beef in a large skillet - I use a teflon-coated one with no added oil. Season to taste with your healthy choices (I use garlic powder and onion powder liberally). Once the meat is thoroughly cooked, stir in the entire can of tomato sauce. Add the cheeses, stirring gently but constantly until they are melted and the mixture has an even consistency. Serve about 1/4 of the meat/cheese sauce over 1 cup of green beans. Adapting for other family members, you can substitute pasta for the green beans - my kids love it! This is a hearty enough sauce that they don't really notice the high-fiber whole grain pasta I now use. Number of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user MOMMAGINI.
