HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

02

Add 1 pound of ground beef to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned. Drain any excess fat.

03

Stir in 1 medium chopped onion and 2 cloves of minced garlic. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the onion softens and becomes translucent.

04

Pour in 1 can of undrained diced tomatoes and 2 cups of beef broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

05

Add 4 ounces of uncooked egg noodles, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir well to combine.

06

Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the noodles are tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

07

Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Easy Substitutions

Ground turkey or chicken can be used instead of ground beef. Any small pasta, such as elbow macaroni or rotini, can replace egg noodles, though cooking times may vary slightly. Vegetable broth can be used in place of beef broth for a lighter flavor.
