Ingredients: 1/2 pound lean ground beef (90% lean); 1/2 cup chopped onion; 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) reduced-sodium beef broth; 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained; 1-1/2 cups uncooked penne pasta; 1-1/2 cups frozen cut green beans, thawed; 2 tablespoons tomato paste; 2 teaspoons dried oregano; 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder; 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

An all-in-one meal like this is great for busy weeknights. I add a pinch of cinnamon to make the dish shine. There's minimal prep work and cleanup is just as easy!

Ingredients

1/2 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) reduced-sodium beef broth
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
1-1/2 cups uncooked penne pasta
1-1/2 cups frozen cut green beans, thawed
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

Directions

In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, bring broth and tomatoes to a boil; add pasta. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes or until pasta is tender, stirring occasionally.
Drain beef mixture; add to pasta. Stir in the beans, tomato paste, oregano, garlic powder and cinnamon; heat through. Sprinkle with feta cheese.

Loved this recipe. I had to improvise on a couple things just because of what I had on hand, but it turned out so good! Will definitely make this again--it's hard to find a healthy ground beef recipe and I'm dieting :)
