I am always on the search for ground beef recipes, something simple, something quick. I have tried a lot of different recipes, but they usually fall short in some way or another. Unlike my Korean beef, a big winner around here, as well as my Seven Layer Dinner. This skillet mac and beef did not disappoint. Now I have a new recipe to add the ground beef rotation.
As a bonus, this skillet can be ready in 30 minutes, making it perfect for busy nights when you’re rushing to get supper on the table.

Tasty, filling, and, the mommy in me is happy that there are vegetables, and you could easily add more variety. It is really simple. I can’t say that enough here, it’s a rather important point for me.
Simply boil your pasta. Brown (cook) your ground beef, with your choice of vegetables. I used diced onion, minced garlic, and mixed bell peppers. Later I thought about maybe adding some diced carrots, perhaps some corn, basically I think you could most vegetables to think.
Once the ground beef is cooked through, drained the fat of it. Add the pasta, cream of soup, Worcestershire sauce, and ketchup to the pan.
I use a cream of soup alternative instead of a can of soup mix. Using this I never run out of it, and don’t have to worry about buying more all the time.
Now, that you have everything in your skillet, mix it together and heat through. Then serve.
Every one of us enjoyed this. The flavors were great.

We have switched to using stainless steel pots and pans. After a short adjustment period, we love them and can’t believe we didn’t buy them sooner. This is the exact set we bought, and love. Though at some point I would like to buy a larger pan, just because our family is growing up and those kids are eating so much more!
