Joe's Hotdish

It's a hot dish, because we're from MN, don’t cha know? 😂 This recipe is so fast and simple, it’s practically a cheat code for those nights when you’re too busy to even find your keys. I used to whip this up for my son when he was little, and he loved it so much, it became known as Joe’s Hotdish

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 (12 to 16-ounce) bag of dried egg noodles
  • 2 (10.5 ounces) cans of cream of mushroom soup
  • Milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder 
  • 1/2 teaspoon Tony Chacheres spice
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Bring a medium to a large pot of water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions.
  2. While the pasta is cooking, heat a large pan over medium-high heat and brown the ground beef, breaking up pieces with a meat chopper or wooden spoon.
  3. Once the beef is browned, stir in the cream of mushroom soup, milk, onion powder, and garlic powder. NOTE: Use milk to thin out - I don't measure, I just kinda pour it in.  I would start with 1/4 cup and go up from there. 
  4. When the noodles are cooked, drain them and add the noodles to the pan. Stir to combine everything and allow to sit for one minute.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste and enjoy!
