Our Famous Skillet Dinner

This is a delicious, one-pan meal to change up the ordinary ground beef or ground turkey recipes. Although the dish is delicious the first day - the leftovers just might be a bit better!

• Ready In: 50 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 2  tablespoons  vegetable oil
• 6  ounces  vermicelli or 6  ounces angel hair pasta
• 1  lb ground beef or 1  lb ground turkey
• 2  garlic cloves, chopped
• 1  large onion, chopped
• 1⁄2 bell pepper, chopped
• 2  celery ribs, chopped
• 1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, undrained
• 2  teaspoons salt or 2  teaspoons  Tony Chachere's Seasoning
• 1  teaspoon black pepper
• 2  teaspoons chili powder
• 1⁄2 cup water
• 1 (15 ounce) can chopped tomatoes
• 1⁄2 cup cheese (American, Velveeta, or Cheddar)

Directions

1. Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat until it ripples.
2. Break vermicelli in 1/2 and add to oil to brown. Careful, it doesn't take long!
3. Add ground meat, garlic, and onion. Brown until meat is no longer pink.
4. Spoon out grease from meat.
5. Add remaining ingredients except cheese. Stir until blended.
6. Reduce heat to simmer, Cover and cook about 35 minutes - stirring occasionally - until the liquid has been reduced.
7. Remove from heat, top with cheese, and allow to set for 5 minutes. American/Velveeta gives a creaminess while cheddar gives a great bite - either is really good.
8. Serve.
