Everything on the internet is forever except that life changing fanart you found when you were 10

I had this recipe that I use to make all the time, until the original author deleted it. It's not on her new blog but thanks to the internet archive, I'm posting it but paraphrased. We're not using the actual title of the recipe or the blog because we know how the internet works. 

This is how I did it in my brain. Each recipe has 4 components: meat, liquid, starch, seasoning pack and optional cheese/tomatoes. The seasoning pack has a base of 1 tablespoon corn starch, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon garlic powder (not salt, don't substitute garlic salt, if it turns out bad and too salty, I warned you) and 1 teaspoon onion powder. The liquid is always 2 3/4 cups, more milk or water depending on the finished texture. The more milk, the thicker the sauce.  Starch is either 1 1/3 cup uncooked pasta or 1 cup uncooked rice. Optional tomatoes, some recipes had them, some didn't. I used either an 8 oz. can of tomato paste or half a 16 oz. can of tomato sauce. The cheese depends on the individual recipe. 

For each recipe, you brown the meat first, and pour out the liquid (it will be thinner and greasier if you don't) Add all the rest of the ingredients, bring to boil. Turn the heat down and cook with a lid for 12 minutes stirring occasionally. Add the cheese in the last 5 minutes.
