Spanish Noodles N Ground Beef Recipes

Steps:

• Cook beef, green pepper and onion until meat is no longer pink and drain.
• Stir in the noodles, tomatoes, water, chili sauce, salt and pepper.
• Cover and cook over low heat for 15-20 minutes or until the noodles are tender.
• Top with bacon and cheese.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, cook and crumble beef with green pepper and onion over medium-high heat until no longer pink, 4-6 minutes. Stir in all remaining ingredients except bacon; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until noodles are tender, 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Top with bacon.

Steps:

• 1. Cut the bacon into 1" pieces, and fry in a dutch oven, over medium heat, until crisp. Remove bacon pieces from the skillet and set aside.
• 2. While the bacon is crisping, chop the onion. Cook onion in bacon drippings until softened and yellow.
• 3. Add ground beef to the pot, breaking it up with your spoon. Cook until there's no more pink in the meat.
• 4. While the meat is cooking stir in the beef base. Then add the oregano, salt, and pepper.
• 5. Stir in the tomato sauce and the stewed tomatoes, breaking up the chunks in your hand as they go into the pot.
• 6. Stir in the water. Heat to bubbling, cover, reduce heat to low and simmer 10-15 minutes.
• 7. Distribute the noodles evenly over the top of the meat mixture in the pot. Increase heat to med-low. Cover, and simmer another 10-12 minutes until the noodles are done, stirring occasionally. (Add a little more water if necessary.)
• 8. Just before serving, stir in half of the cheese, then the bacon pieces. Garnish each serving with a tablespoon or two of the remaining cheese.
• 9. NOTES: If you like, chopped green pepper may be cooked with the onion, but we're not fans, so I don't. You may use a can of beef broth in place of the water and beef base, if you prefer. *This recipe is easily made gluten free by substituting gluten-free pasta for the egg noodles. I ONLY use Tinkyada brand, and I think the brown rice fusilli works best in this recipe.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, cook the beef, green pepper, and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink, and drain.
• Stir in noodles, tomatoes, water, chili sauce, salt, and pepper.
• Cover, and cook over low heat for 15-20 minutes or until the noodles are tender, stirring frequently.
