Skillet Spaghetti (kid approved)

Skillet Spaghetti
Ingredients:
1 1/2 lb lean ground beef or ground turkey
1 tbsp. olive oil
2 tbsp. onion powder
1 tbsp. chili powder
1 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
2 tsp. dried basil
3-4 cups water
2 (15 oz) cans tomato sauce, no sugar added
1 (16 oz) package whole grain spaghetti noodles
Grated parmesan cheese
Directions:
Brown meat in your pan using the olive oil. Once the meat has lost all of it's pink color, add all the spices to the pan and stir well to combine. Pour in the water (start with 3 cups, you can always add more later)and tomato sauce and stir gently while bringing the sauce to a gentle boil. Add the pasta, stir and cover the pan with a lid. Check on the pasta often so as to keep it from burning on the bottom of the pan. Cook until pasta has reached desired level of softness, about 20-30 minutes. Remember to stir. Allow to cool a bit and top with parmesan when serving.
*TIP: This is a quick and easy meal, it's kid approved (mine even asked for seconds!), and it's budget friendly!
