Beef and Noodles

 
I love comfort food, especially on chilly, dreary days. We had some amazing spring weather early in the week and but we were plunged back into the chilly weather. I really needed some comfort food and decided to make some beef and noodles and mashed potatoes. This has always been a favorite meal of my. It's super simple but always seems to hit the spot when I make it. If you make the recipe as written, you will end up with quite a bit of beef and noodles. If you are looking for a smaller portion, feel free to half the recipe. Once you've opened the beef and broth, you can combine the two in a container and put it in the freezer. The next time you want beef and noodles, you can pull out the extra from the freezer. Since the recipe uses pre-cooked canned beef, the dish comes together quickly. You could opt to cook your own beef if you prefer.



So, while I'm excited that I got to have some more comfort food, I'm really ready for spring!

Beef and Noodles

1 large can of beef
1 large can of beef broth
16 oz. package of egg noodles

In a large pot, combine beef and beef broth. Bring to a boil. As you are waiting for the boil, you may need to break up some larger pieces of beef. Reduce the heat and add noodles. You may need to add some water to help cover the noodles. Simmer for 15-20 or until the noodles are cooked. Serve with mashed potatoes. I personally like my beef and noodles served on top of the mashed potatoes.
