Vegetable Beef Bow Tie Skillet

By sjhelling

Meaty and full of veggies. This is all kinds of goodness in one pot! I double the recipe so I have enough for the whole family.

I wish I could take credit for this one, but I got it from a magazine years ago.

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 1 can (14-1/2 oz) beef broth
• 1-1/2 cups uncooked bow tie pasta
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 1 cup chopped sweet yellow pepper
• 1 cup chopped zucchini
• 2 cups chopped tomatoes
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Preparation

Step 1

In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the broth, pasta, water and seasonings. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes.

Add yellow pepper and zucchini; cover and cook 2-4 minutes longer or until pasta and vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in tomatoes; sprinkle with cheese.
