  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup shredded cheese
  • Garlic powder, onion powder, paprika

How to Make It

  1. Brown ground beef in a large skillet, drain excess fat.
  2. Stir in soup, broth, and seasonings; bring to a simmer.
  3. Add uncooked egg noodles directly to the skillet, cover, cook 10–12 minutes until tender, stirring occasionally.
  4. Stir in frozen peas and cheese.
  5. Cook 2 more minutes until cheese melts and peas are heated through.
  6. Serve with bagged garden salad on the side.

No-Time-For-That Tip: No boiling noodles separately, no extra dishes — they cook right in the sauce.
