Creamy Hamburger (with Pasta) Recipe

This is a really easy weekday meal.  I served it with Caesar salad. 
Ingredients: Small Pasta (not noodles) I used costco whole grain pasta
Ground Beef
Milk
Butter
Cream of Mushroom soup
Parmesan Cheese 
Chopped Onions
Chopped Garlic
Chopped Fresh Oregano
Chopped Fresh Parsley
Salt/Pepper to taste
*Oregano and Parsley really add to the flavor, do not omit.

1.  Boil Pasta in Salted Water then strain and toss in vegetable/olive oil so it doesn't stick.

2.   As pasta is boiling, begin chopping onion and herbs.
3.  Toss onion and garlic in pan with a little oil, then brown ground beef, breaking it into pieces.  Season ground beef with salt/pepper to taste.
4.  When browned, add oregano and parsley, then butter, milk, parmesan cheese to taste and cream of mushroom soup.  Add salt/pepper to taste if needed.
5. Stir constantly since milk products burn quickly.  Let simmer for a while, still stirring.

DO NOT COMBINE pasta and sauce.  I made this mistake and the pasta just soaks up the sauce, and it becomes very bland.  Keep leftovers seperate.
