Simple Beef-A-Roni with Peas

NOTE: Click here to see the updated Simple Beef-A-Roni with Peas recipe with more pictures and nutritional information on my new food blog, GreenLiteBites

This was an oldy lost in the crash and recently rediscovered by Claudia.  Thanks Claudia! 

I made it again tonight, changing it up a bit, of course.  I just can’t help myself.  I’ve posted my new photo and the original.

Just so you know, the toddler loves it.  The husband would rather “real pasta”.  Whatever that means?! ;~)Simple Beef-a-Roni with Peas

  • 8 oz whole wheat pasta
  • 1 small sweet onion, diced
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, diced
  • 8 oz lean ground beef
  • 1 – 10.7 can condensed tomato soup
  • 1 – 15oz can of peas (not drained) OR 8 oz frozen peas and ½ cup of water
  • 1 – 15oz can diced tomatoes
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ¼-½ tsp black pepper
  • non-stick cooking spray

Simple Beef-a-Roni with Peas orignalBring a large pot of water to boil and cook the pasta per instructions on the package.

While preparing the pasta add the onion and garlic to a non-stick frying pan with sprayed cooking spray. Cook until tender.  Add the beef and cook until brown.  
 
When the pasta is finished, drain and return to the pot. Add the tomato soup, peas (with liquid), cooked beef, and tomatoes. Stir.  Add spices to taste and cook a few minutes on medium heat while stirring.

As for nutritional information, this could serve 4-5.  I split it into 5 servings so I can bring some for my lunches, each about 340g, 315 calories, 3g of fat and 8 g of fiber.

Sounds good! Roni - what type of whole wheat pasta is that in the first picture? Looks kind of like a fusilli? Thanks! Michele

WOW....looks good and kid friendly!! I've got a weird question though, do you call it Beef a Roni like your name or Beef a Roni like macaroni? :) Nice humor! Have a fun day with the toddler!!

Alisha - Yup, bad joke. In grade school they used to call me Rice-A-Roni.... the San Fransisco treat. I'm still scarred. ;~)
