Reduce the cooking time of the pasta by 1 or 2 minutes to keep the pasta from overcooking in step 4. Then, toss the pasta with a teaspoon of olive oil after draining to make it easier to stir into the beef mixture.

BLT Salad
Stretch this economical salad during tomato season by finely chopping the bacon, onion and lettuce. Mix in the mayonnaise dressing and serve in hollowed tomatoes. It makes a great buffet dish, too.
