A quick, hearty, and one-pot meal featuring ground beef, fresh vegetables, egg noodles, kidney beans, and stewed tomatoes—perfect for busy weeknights with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

  • ½ pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • ¾ cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups uncooked medium egg noodles
  • 1 can (16 oz) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) stewed tomatoes
  • ¾ cup water
  • 1 beef bouillon cube

Instructions

  1. Heat a large saucepan or skillet over medium heat. Cook the ground beef, onion, celery, and green pepper until vegetables are tender-crisp and meat is fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, salt (if using), basil, and black pepper.
  3. Add uncooked egg noodles, kidney beans, stewed tomatoes (with juices), water, and the beef bouillon cube.
  4. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender and mixture is well combined.
  5. Serve hot, optionally topped with shredded cheese or fresh herbs.

Notes

  • Swap kidney beans with black or pinto beans for variety.
  • To make it spicier, add chili flakes or use diced tomatoes with green chilies.
  • Extra veggies like corn, zucchini, or spinach can be added.
  • For a vegetarian version, omit beef and double the beans or use lentils.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
