#586: Saucy Ground Beef and Noodles


Here is a very easy recipe you can make when you don't want to spend any time in the kitchen.  Most likely you probably have most of these ingredients on hand too (you might have a different shaped noodle, but that would be okay too). 

Brian, Allison and I enjoyed this meal.  Chloe refused to even try it, but I'm sure she would have liked it if she did.  Oh well...more for us and leftovers for Brian for lunch.


1 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef (I used ground turkey)                                          
1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
1 medium bell pepper, chopped (1 cup)
3 cups uncooked extra-wide egg noodles (5 oz)
2 1/2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 jar (1 lb 10 oz) tomato pasta sauce (any variety) or marinara sauce
1 jar (4.5 oz) sliced mushrooms, drained (I omitted)

In 4-quart Dutch oven, cook beef, onion and bell pepper over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is thoroughly cooked; drain.
Stir in remaining ingredients. Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered 10 to 12 minutes or until noodles are tender.
