Sautéed Beef with Tomatoes and Egg Noodles

Sautéed Beef with Tomatoes and Egg Noodles

I wanted to make a quick but nourishing meal tonight and this was it. Takes about 20 minutes start to finish. The following recipe serves 4-5 and is about 560 calories for a generous serving. The Sautéed Beef is a slightly modified Weight Watcher's recipe. The noodles I used were Mrs. Miller's Extra Wide. 

                                        Ingredients

Wide Egg Noodles, your favorite brand

1 lb of lean ground beef

1 lb of fresh tomatoes, chopped into bite size pieces

2 garlic cloves, minced, or more if you're a big garlic fan

2 tbs fresh parley, minced

Salt to taste

Dash of red pepper flakes

2 tbsp olive oil

Combine garlic, parsley, tomatoes, oil, red pepper, and salt in a bowl. Set aside.

Bring 3-4 quarts of water to a boil. Add egg noodles and reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, checking frequently to determine whether done to your taste.

While the pasta is cooking, brown ground beef in a large skillet over medium high heat for about five minutes until cooked through. Drain any excess fat from meat.

Add the tomato mixture to the beef and cook for about three minutes until heated through. 

Enjoy!
