It begins with a sizzle. When the beef enters the hot olive oil in the skillet, it browns and absorbs a mixture of herbs saffrone garlic, onion and paprika, salt, pepper, which forms a rich savory background in which the meat cooks.
Next are the fresh onion and sweet red bell pepper and they should be only slightly cooked so as to have that good bite. To add color, texture and nutrition, frozen mixed veggies are thrown in without the chopping effort. It is an easy and worry-free manner to slip in all those healthy extras.
Then there is the magic: the noodles. Instead, they are already cooked and ready in the sidelines; they just effortlessly blend into the pan absorbing all those favorite juices. Then there is cheese, the best part of it all.
A sprinkling of shredded cheddar (or your choice blend) also goes on top and with only a couple of minutes with the lid closed, it turns into a gooey, indescribably delicious comfort layer. No oven. No baking. Stovetop satisfaction in less than 30.
Devour it your way, with your favorite garnish fresh parsley to add a color, crimped red pepper to add a bit more heat or some cool sour cream to bring it extra indulgent. Bring it piping hot and see the balls start smoking all round the table.
It is quick, filling, and it is done with love, even in those hectic days. This skillet supper proves you do not necessarily have to spend a lot of time in the kitchen to serve an occasion to remember. One pan, a couple of ingredients and a ton of flavor is all it takes.
