Beef And Bowtie Pasta

 Hey guys, I guess I need to start a series of recipes titled "Recently Tried Tik Tok Recipes", because that seems to be where I am getting some pretty good ones lately. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Beef and Bowtie Pasta.



Ingredients

1lb. ground beef

2 cups bowtie pasta

1 can cream of mushroom soup

1 cup beef broth

salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  • Brown the ground beef. 
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess grease. Season with salt and pepper.

  • Cook the pasta. 
  • While the beef is browning, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the bowtie pasta and cook according to the package directions until tender. Drain and set aside.

  • Make the creamy sause.
  • Reduce the heat under the skillet to medium-low. Add the cream of mushroom soup and beef broth to the cooked ground beef. Stir until everything is well combined and smooth.
  • Combine everything.
  • Add the cooked bowtie pasta to the skillet. Stir gently until all the pasta is coated in the creamy beef sauce.
  • Simmer and serve.
  • Let everything simmer together over low heat for 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend and the sauce to thicken slightly.
A Few Helpful Tips
  • Want it thicker?  Let it simmer uncovered for a few extra minutes.
  • Want it creamier? Add a splash of milk if it becomes too thick.
  • Want it cheesy? Stir in 1/2-1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese just before serving.
  • Want extra flavor? Add a little garlic or onion powder when browning the beef.
Serving Suggestion
Serve with warm buttered rolls, garlic bread, or green beans for an easy family dinner.

And there you have it! Simple ingredients, one hearty meal, and a recipe that's easy on the grocery budget :)

Much Love,
Beth

Monday Morning Chit-Chat

  Happy Monday, friends! Well, here we are again. Another Monday morning, another fresh week, and another cup of coffee that I'm hoping will magically give me the energy to accomplish all the things on my to-do list. Spoiler alert: It probably won't. But I'm going to drink it anyway. I thought we would start this week with a little old-fashioned chit-chat. Nothing too serious, nothing life changing. Just a little catching up on life lately, a few random thoughts, and whatever else happens to pop into my head. you know, the kind of conversation we'd have if you stopped by my house, pulled up a chair, and stayed a while. So grab your coffee (or whatever gets you going in the morning), and let's visit. First things first...it's October! This year is absolutely flying by. I love this time of year. The cozy evenings, the fall decorations, the soups and comfort foods, and the excuse to stay home in my pajamas a little longer. Now if Arkansas could just get the memo t...

What's Up Wednesday

 Happy What's Up Wednesday! Today I am linking up with  Shay  and  Sheaffer  for another "What's Up Wednesday" Let's do this! What we're eating this week... So far this week we have made: Wings on the Pit Boss Slow Cooker Pineapple Pork Chops You can't get any easier than wings and chops! Especially when they are on the grill and slow cooker!! What I'm Reminiscing About... Septembers past: September is Trey's birth month. It is also the month that my grandpa died four years ago. This is the year that Papa gave Trey a gun for his birthday. He was so proud to give it to Trey and you can tell by the look on Trey's face how happy he was. Such a sweet moment to remember. Our county fair is also in September. My kids used to love it when they were younger. They still love rides, just not the traveling kind :) This was Wrenley's school picture last year. She has grown so much in one year :) What I'm Loving... Makena and my mom have started mak...

Be Her: When Our Ideal Self Becomes an Idol

 Ella Langley's "Be Her" got me thinking about something I think a lot of women struggle with- the woman we think we should be.  You know her. She's more disciplined. More confident. More put together. She exercises, keeps the house clean, reads her Bible every morning, never loses her patience, and somehow always has good hair. We tell ourselves, If I could just be her..... And there's nothing wrong with wanting to grow. But what happens when the woman we want to become turns into an idol? Sometimes we become so focused on our ideal self that we forget to ask God who He wants us to become. There's a subtle difference between praying, "Lord, make me more like Christ," and saying, "Lord, help me to become the woman I've decided I need to be." One is surrender. The other can easily become control.  Philippians 1:6 reminds us that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. God isn't waiting fo...
