This is a really simple casserole that works great when you’re cooking in a place with limited supplies, like a cabin.

I like to make this when we stay at Niobrara State Park, and it’s easy to bring most of the pantry ingredients along. I usually just pick up the meat at Farnik’s Market in Niobrara. It’s a hearty dish that makes a good dinner with a nice salad and hot rolls.

1 pkg spaghetti or fettucine, broken up
1 lb. hamburger
1 jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp basil
1/4 tsp oregano
1 tsp brown sugar
salt to taste
Parmesan

Cook spaghetti and set aside. Brown meat and add spices, brown sugar and spaghetti sauce. Blend sauce and pasta, cover and let sit a few minutes. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and serve.
