Instructions<\/h3>\n

1. Prep like a pro<\/strong>
\nChop the onion and slice the bell pepper. If you\u2019re not using pre-cooked noodles, get them boiled and ready.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

2. Sizzle that beef<\/strong>
\nHeat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat everything with flavor.<\/p>\n

3. Veggie time<\/strong>
\nAdd the onions and bell pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Toss in frozen veggies and cook 3\u20134 more minutes until everything is tender and warm.<\/p>\n

4. Bring it all together<\/strong>
\nMix in the cooked noodles and fold until evenly combined. Remove from heat.<\/p>\n

5. Make it melty<\/strong>
\nSprinkle the cheese over the skillet and cover. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until that gooey goodness melts down beautifully.<\/p>\n

6. Serve it hot<\/strong>
\nTop with fresh herbs, crushed red pepper, or a dollop of sour cream if you\u2019re feeling fancy. Then dig in and watch it disappear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
