Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 cup yellow onion, diced
- 0.5 cup green bell pepper, diced
- 1 lb lean ground beef 85% or 90% lean
- 2 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp taco seasoning store-bought or homemade
- 0.75 tsp kosher salt to taste
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 10 oz diced tomatoes with green chiles undrained
- 8 oz tomato sauce
- 1.5 cup beef broth low sodium
- 8 oz wide egg noodles
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese divided
- 0.25 cup green onions, sliced for garnish
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped optional
- 1 lime lime cut into wedges for serving
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Heat the olive oil in a large deep skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes.
- Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and no longer pink, about 5 to 6 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Stir in the garlic, taco seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Pour in the diced tomatoes with green chiles, tomato sauce, and beef broth. Bring to a boil.
- Stir in the egg noodles. Reduce heat to a strong simmer, cover, and cook, stirring once or twice, until noodles are tender, 7 to 9 minutes.
- Remove from heat. Stir in the sour cream and half of the cheddar until smooth and creamy.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheddar on top, cover for 1 to 2 minutes to melt.
- Garnish with green onions and cilantro. Serve hot with lime wedges.
Notes
For extra heat, add 0.25 tsp crushed red pepper with the taco seasoning. Substitute ground turkey or chicken if preferred and use chicken broth instead of beef broth.
