Simple Beef-A-Roni with Peas
Posted in: Dinner Ideas, Food Photos, Lunch Ideas, Pasta Ideas |
You come home from work, no plans for dinner and your in the mood for comfort food. What do you do? What DO you DO??
This may solve the problem! It only takes a few minutes to prepare (especially if you have ground beef frozen in 8 oz packages) and, if you have a small family, leftovers are great for lunch!
- 8 oz whole wheat pasta
- 1 small sweet onion, diced (~150g)
- 2-3 cloves garlic, diced
- 8 oz lean ground beef
- 1 – 10.7 can condensed tomato soup
- 1 – 15oz can of peas (not drained) OR 8 oz frozen peas and ½ cup of water
- 1 – 15oz can diced tomatoes
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ¼-½ tsp black pepper
- non-stick cooking spray
Bring a large pot of water to boil and cook the pasta per instructions on the package.
While preparing the pasta add the onion and garlic to a non-stick frying pan sprayed with cooking spray. Cook until tender. Add the beef and cook until brown.
When the pasta is finished, drain and return to the pot. Add the tomato soup, peas (with liquid or water), cooked beef, and tomatoes. Stir. Add spices to taste and cook a few minutes on medium heat while stirring.
Serve!

When you say 8 oz. whole wheat pasta, is that cooked or uncooked?
Forget the question - I read further……
Love the look of those big spirals. I haven’t been able to find a shaped whole wheat pasta that tastes good - what brand do you use?
Lisa -
I use Bionaturae Organic Whole Wheat pasta.
unfortunately, they don’t have that noddle online. However, I do have the brand in the Pasta section of the store.

Hope that helps!
Hi Lisa -
Can you tell me the serving size?
Thanks!
Diane - Not sure Lisa will know! LOL It’s my recipe. I just split the whole recipe into 5 equal servings but if I was to guess I’d say just over a cup.

Just curious….
I love everything you make. Is there any way you can add a “print friendly version” to your recipes?
Thanks for everything. Your sites have been a great find!!!
Tanya - There already is one. Just print from GreenLiteBites and it should only print the recipe, automatically. Try it and let me know!
I made this last night and I added some cottage cheese, it was so good.
Okay honestly- this is my 3rd recipe of yours I have made…where have you been all my life?!? Every recipe of yours I have made is great! The flavor is so good- how in the world you pull this off is beyond me- and they are all fast and painless too! Thank you for making this site!
