Okay, so tonight, I was totally staring into the fridge, wondering what to make. You know those nights? I had a pound of ground beef and not a clue. Then, I remembered I wanted to try some new quick and easy dinner recipes. Let’s dive into what I whipped up!
Getting Started: The Basics
First, I grabbed the ground beef and browned it in a big skillet. I always make sure to drain off the extra grease. Nobody wants a greasy meal, right?
- One pound of ground beef – check!
- Large skillet – got it!
Spice It Up: Taco Night!
My first thought was tacos! Tacos are ALWAYS a good idea. After browning the beef, I sprinkled in a packet of taco seasoning and a little bit of water, like the package instructions said. While that was simmering, I chopped up some lettuce, tomatoes, and onions. Super simple.
I warmed up some tortillas, and we were good to go! Everyone loves taco night, it’s always a hit.
Quick Comfort: Beef & Noodles
I had some noodles and a jar of sauce. I cooked a pot of egg noodles.
once it’s done, I mixed the cooked beef and noodles together and, the sauce. I heated it through, and boom – instant comfort food!
The Verdict
Both meals took, maybe, 20 minutes tops? Seriously, so fast. And the best part? Clean-up was a breeze. Both recipes are very easy to cook.
I definitely added these to my list of go-to weeknight dinners. Give them a try, and thank me later.
