Brown one lbs (more or less) of ground beef in a skillet.
Stir in 2 cups pasta or 1 cup rice or 2 cups sliced potatoes and 2 cups water (use one cup if using fresh potatoes), 1/4 cup butter or margarine, and one of the sauce mixes below.
Use noodles or potatoes and 1/3 cup of the following mixture. Stir in 1/4 cup sour cream just before serving. (1/4 cup fresh or canned mushrooms may be used instead of dried, but put them in when you cook, not when preparing the mix for storage.)
