Healthy Savory Beef Pasta Recipe

If you're looking for something hearty, with that stick-to-your-ribs flavor without all the fat and calories, this healthy recipe is a winner. Green beans, egg noodles, lean ground beef, and just a few spices get together for a tasty, comforting meal.

Ingredients:

  • 10-ounce package of green beans, frozen
  • ½ cup onions, minced
  • 1 pound + 6 ounces lean ground beef
  • 6¾ cups yolk-free noodles, uncooked
  • 2 cups cold water
  • 2 cubes beef bouillon
  • ⅓ cup flour
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dry parsley flakes
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

Directions:

1. Cook green beans according to package directions, and set aside.

2. Place onions and ground beef in a skillet. Cook over medium heat; stir occasionally. Cook until beef no longer remains pink, about 5 to 10 minutes. Drain fat off.

3. Meanwhile, cook noodles according to package instructions. Drain.

4. Combine cold water and flour; stir until smooth. Add flour mixture and beef bouillon cubes to ground beef. Cook, stirring frequently until the mixture has thickened and the bouillon cubes have dissolved, about 4 minutes.

5. Add cooked green beans, cooked noodles, pepper, parsley flakes, garlic powder, and onion powder to the ground beef mixture; stir to combine.

6. Place beef mixture in an 8×12 inch baking pan; cover and bake in 350 degrees F oven until thoroughly heated, about 15 minutes.
