Quick and Easy Beef Stroganoff with Ziti
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 lbs ground beef
- 16 oz ziti pasta (or any pasta of your choice)
- Garlic powder or minced garlic
- 1 packet onion soup mix
- 1 large can cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. It’s better to slightly undercook it as it will continue to cook later. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat until fully cooked. Drain any excess oil.
- Add garlic powder or minced garlic to the cooked beef, adjusting to your taste preference. Sprinkle in the onion soup mix and stir to combine.
- Pour in the cream of mushroom soup along with half a can of water. Stir well to combine all ingredients. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss until the noodles are evenly coated with the beef and sauce mixture. Allow it to simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse into the pasta.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the sour cream until well incorporated. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Serve hot and enjoy your quick and delicious beef stroganoff with ziti!
