Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large skillet, heat over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, 1 tablespoon dried onion, and 1 tablespoon garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir until browned and crumbly, approximately 5-7 minutes. Drain off any excess grease and transfer the beef to a bowl.

02

Step

Return the skillet to medium heat and add canola oil. Add fideo noodles and cook, stirring constantly, until they are lightly browned, about 3-5 minutes.

03

Step

Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet. Add enough hot water to cover the noodles. Stir in tomato sauce, remaining 2 tablespoons dried onion, remaining 1 tablespoon garlic powder, cumin, onion powder, beef bouillon cube, green bell pepper strips, salt, and pepper.

04

Step

Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender and the sauce has thickened, approximately 10-15 minutes.

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of chili flakes or a diced jalapeño to the skillet when browning the ground beef.
If you don't have beef bouillon on hand, chicken or vegetable bouillon can be substituted.
Garnish with fresh cilantro, a dollop of sour cream, or a squeeze of lime for an extra layer of flavor before serving.
Adjust water based on your preference; adding more liquid if you like a more soupy end-product.

    Be careful not to overcook the noodles, or they will become mushy.
