8 ounces of elbow macaroni (check your box, because mine was 12 ounces), or your favorite shaped pasta 2 ounces of sundried tomatoes (if dried: soak in hot water till tender, and slice; but you may find them chopped in oil, which is delicious and with no need to soak) Fresh diced onion to taste, sauteed in olive oil, or I used dried minced onion 1 clove of garlic, chopped (I always buy the jarred chopped garlic from the produce section) 1 pound of ground beef, browned (
I cook mine in bulk ahead of time in the crockpot) 12 ounces of tomato sauce (if you have leftover pasta sauce, I would use that) 1 teaspoon of dried basil Salt and pepper to taste
