Country Skillet Supper

By Stephanie Boyle

Quick, great tasting meal, all made in one pan!

Ingredients:

1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1/8 tsp garlic powder or 1 glove of garlic, minced
1 can (10-3/4oz) Condensed Golden Mushroom Soup
1 can (10-1/2oz) Condensed beef broth
1 can (14-1/2oz) diced tomatoes
1 small zucchini, sliced (about 1 cup)
1/2 tsp dried thyme leaves, crushed
1-1/2 cups uncooked corkscrew pasta

Directions:

1. Over medium-high heat, cook beef, onion, and garlic powder until beef is browned, stirring to break apart meat. Pour out fat.

2. Add soup, broth, tomatoes, zucchini and thyme. Heat to a boil and then stir in pasta. Reduce heat to low and continue to cook for 15 minutes or until pasta is done.

Makes 4 servings.

Variation: Top this dish with pitted ripe olives to add some extra flavor.
