Some nights you just need dinner to happen, and this one delivers in 30 minutes flat with ingredients you probably already have.

Diced beef gets browned, then joined by onion, celery, frozen vegetables, and a package of ramen noodles with its seasoning packet. A quick simmer and everything melds into a hearty, noodle-packed skillet meal.

A splash of soy sauce at the end pulls the Asian flavors together.

This is college-budget cooking that actually feeds a family.

Kitchen Tips

  • Brown the beef in batches so it sears instead of steaming. Crowding the pan gives you gray, boiled meat.
  • Break the ramen noodles into smaller pieces before adding them so they distribute evenly through the dish.
  • Use any frozen vegetable blend you like. Stir-fry mixes with snap peas and broccoli work especially well here.
