Ranch Pasta with Hamburger

I found this recipe over at "Home Sweet Home" ~ she has a lot of things I want to try! It was great and super fast! It is definitely a new family favorite. I served it with some yummy rolls.

1 pound of ground chuck
1/2 of a large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic
salt and pepper to taste
1 box of pasta ~ I used those cute new "mini" pastas, the penne ones ~ Rotini, Bowties, or Gemelli would be good choices.
1 cup milk
1 cup sour cream
1 pouch dry ranch dressing mix

In a large pot, bring well salted water to a boil and drop your pasta. Cook according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large, deep sided skillet over medium heat, brown the meat, onions and garlic and add the S&P. In a medium bowl, combine the milk, sour cream and ranch mix until mixed. When the meat is browned, drain off grease if necessary. Drain the pasta when it is al dente. Combine the meat mixture, pasta and sauce in one of the pans that is large enough to hold it all.
