Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
- 1 tablespoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 14.5 ounces Canned diced tomatoes
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 8 ounces Uncooked egg noodles
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Oil (for cooking)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil.
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it into smaller pieces, until browned and fully cooked. Remove excess grease if necessary.
Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and diced red bell pepper to the skillet with the beef. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Sprinkle the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper over the mixture. Stir well to combine and coat the beef and vegetables with the spices.
Pour in the canned diced tomatoes (including their juices) and the beef broth. Stir to combine.
Add the uncooked egg noodles to the skillet and press them down gently so they are submerged in the liquid. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the skillet, and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the skillet. Cover and let it cook for 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts.
Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your hearty Chili Beef Noodle Skillet!
