20 Minute Hamburger Skillet (Hamburger Stew)

Stew Ingredients

1 pound ground beef chuck
1 (3 ounce) package ramen noodles
2 cups water
2 cups frozen mixed vegetables, thawed

Stew Directions

In a skillet, cook the ground beef chuck until it's no longer pink. Drain any excess fat. Add the package of ramen noodles along with the contents of the seasoning packet and the 2 cups of water.

Bring the beef chuck mixture to a boil and cook for about 3 minutes or until the noodles are tender. Add the thawed mixed vegetables and cook until they are tender, about 3 minutes longer.

You can add additional flavor to your 20 minute hamburger skillet by substituting 1 can of cream of mushroom soup for one of the cups of water. A small jar of drained, sliced mushrooms is nice too.

Even if you’re pressed for time you can whip up a delicious and satisfying meal in a flash with Hamburger Stew.
