Ground Beef & Green Bean Skillet
Ground beef and green bean skillet with fresh green beans, tomato and beef stock, seasoned with garlic and oregano. A one-pan dinner in about 40 minutes.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed
- 1 large tomato, diced and seeded
- 1 1/2 cup beef stock
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
Instructions
- Place ground beef and onion in a large skillet. Start browning the meat and add seasonings. Continue to cook until beef is fully cooked and onions are tender; drain. Stir in green beans, tomato and beef stock. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer about 10-15 minutes, until green beans are crisp-tender and stock is reduced. Stir in tomato paste and continue to cook another 5 minutes, until sauce is thickened.
Notes
This tastes great served over cooked pasta, rice or mashed potatoes. If you want to turn it into a one dish dinner, up the beef stock to 4 1/2 cups total and stir in the pasta with the green beans. Then, cover while simmering, until noodles are cooked. Good stuff!
