Skillet dinners are one of my favorites since they come together so quickly and they always taste so good. I had this one done in under 30 minutes. And everyone cleaned their plates much quicker than that.
The other thing I really appreciate with skillet dinners is that they are so versatile. For this Easy Creamy Mexican Skillet, I stayed pretty basic and bulked up the meal with some veggies on the side. But this could easily be a complete meal in one with the addition of some corn or other veggies.
Easy Creamy Mexican Skillet
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1 t. chili powder
- 1/2 t. cumin
- 1/2 t. garlic powder
- 1/2 t. salt

- 1/2 c. sour cream
- 1 c. salsa
- 1/2 – 1 lb. egg noodles, cooked and drained
1. Brown ground beef with seasonings in a large skillet. Drain. Stir in cream cheese, sour cream and salsa until cream cheese is completely melted.
2. Add cooked egg noodles to the skillet and toss to coat. Serve and enjoy!
I had to laugh…I was reading this post in google reader and thought “wow, I wonder if she ever makes anything her family doesn’t like.” Then I read your next post about the sour cream & mustard sauce recipe that didn’t go over so well.
I get so many of my ideas from your website. I’ve never made anything that my family hasn’t loved!
I am so going to put this on my next meal plan. It reminds me of the hamburger helpers that (some) people like, only w/out all the extra junk that goes in them. Don’t be surprised if you see a future trackback!
Oh goodness, this looks so delicious! We love Mexican food at our house, so I know this will be a huge hit!!
Oh my goodness! I made this tonight and it was DELICIOUS! Even my picky 13-yo son ate it. I confess, I didn’t really measure anything (Rachael Ray freed me LOL), and I did add some cheddar cheese on top because we are a very cheesy family, but otherwise I didn’t do anything different. Yummy! Thanks so much!!
