Brown ground beef with onion and garlic One Pan Dinner
The knowledge of ground beef is an important recipe; chili, snacks, casseroles, etc. Ground Beef is used in many dishes that you prepare for dinner and even lunch! Brown the meat before adding other ingredients like garlic and onion to make a sauce that can be served over rice or potatoes.
Meatballs are usually made with either bread crumbs (being sure they contain no milk) or oats sometimes mixed with seasonings such as salt pepper parsley thyme Italian seasoning oregano basil onion powder baking soda eggs milk Worcestershire sauce cooking oil on top of chopped onions browned until cooked through then add tomatoes water egg noodles cooked till tender and drained liquid cheese soup tomato pasta.
Add diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, water, and pasta to a skillet.
pasta
Pasta is added to the skillet and mixed with sauce, water, diced tomatoes. Cook on medium heat for about 15 minutes or until pasta reaches desired consistency.
Add cheese soup tomato paste mixture to the skillet and mix well. Add more salt if needed. Cover lid so that steam heats noodles as they finish cooking
Ground beef should cook through during this process but make sure not to overcook it; otherwise, the fats will come out too much, which doesn't taste good! The egg yolk may also be omitted from the recipe if desired. Still, I recommend including since eggs are delicious and add protein.
Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until pasta is tender.
Cook One Pan Dinner pasta according to package instructions
Rinse and pat dry cooked ground beef with paper towels before browning it in a large skillet, if desired. Mix eggs and milk, then pour into pan with meat mixture. Scramble egg whites quickly using a spatula to don't overcook but still have some texture left.
Add garlic powder, salt, red pepper flakes (optional), and oregano to taste; cook for an additional one minute stirring occasionally. Add tomato sauce, hamburger buns (or any other burger toppings), shredded cheese of choice (I used cheddar).
