Re: Ground beef recipies

Wow, doglover22, it's been quite a while since you first wrote, so hopefully, your situation has long been resolved at this point! Still, with so many yummy burger recipes here, I couldn't resist sharing this one, since I had never before thought of using ramen noodles as "pasta," even though, of course, they are.... This is cheap, easy, quick, yummy, and different, and it reheats well! (What more can ya ask?!?)

Beefy Italian Ramen Skillet

2 pkgs. beef-flavor ramen noodle soup mix
1 lb. ground beef
24 slices pepperoni
1 can (14.5 oz.) diced tomatoes with Italian seasoning
1 cup water
1 sm. green bell pepper, cut in 1/2-in. pieces (1/2 c.) -- I omit this
1 c. shredded mozzarella (4 oz.)

Break blocks of noodles in half (reserve one seasoning packet, and discard the other); set aside. In 10-in. skillet, brown beef and pepperoni; drain.

Stir tomatoes, water, and seasoning packet into beef mixture. Heat to boiling. Stir in noodles and bell pepper. Cook 3-5 min., stirring occasionally, till noodles are tender. (I've found it takes just a bit longer.)

Sprinkle cheese on noodle mixture in ring around edge of skillet. Cover and let stand about 5 min. or till cheese is melted.
