This is a Taste of Home recipe. Liked the idea of this, but was not enjoyed by us. The garlic powder was too much for our taste and gave the sauce a weird aftertaste. Maybe sauteeing fresh chopped garlic with the ground beef would work better. Or could use our favorite homemade spaghetti meat sauce. With those changes, this has potential.
