One Pot Dinner...YUM!

Things are C-R-A-Z-Y around here right now...we're in the process of moving.  You know, selling...buying...packing....entertaining children...AHHHHHHH!  It becomes absolutely necessary to make easy dinners these days unless I want my family to survive on fast food alone.  This is one of my all-time fave EASY meals...I have had it for years and I have no idea where it originated from, but it's TASTY!!!

One Pot Dinner:

1/2 lb. ground beef

1 medium onion, chopped

1 C chopped celery

3/4 C chooped green pepper

2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

1 tsp. salt (optional)

1/2 tsp. dried basil

1/4 tsp. pepper

2 C uncooked no-yolk egg noodles

1 (16 oz.) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed

1 (14 1/2 oz.) can diced tomatoes

In a large saucepan, cook meat until no longer pink; drain.  Add onion, celery and green pepper and cook 5 minutes or until crisp-tender.  Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, basil and pepper.  Stir in egg noodles, beans, tomatoes, water and bouillon.  Bring to boil, reduce heat and cover.  Simmer 20 minutes or until noodles are tender, stirring occasionally. Serves 5.

I've had a LOT of requests for this recipe lately, so here you go everyone!

P.S.  This is a super-easy meal to take to a new mommy or someone in need of a home-cooked meal...just whip up some cornbread muffins and you've got a complete meal!
