Tasty Thursday
Trista over at Southern Fried Mama has started a Tasty Thursday meme that I think is a great idea! Now grab the button and share one of your “Tried and True” recipes with us.
This week its “Crockpot edition”.
Broccoli and Beef Pasta
2 cups broccoli florets
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1/2 tsp dried basil leaves
1/2 tsp dried oregano leaves
1/2 tsp dried thyme leaves
1 (14.5 oz) Italian style diced tomatoes, undrained
1 (10 oz) can beef broth
1 lb lean ground beef or beef strips
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 TBSP tomato paste
2 cups cooked rotini pasta
3 oz shredded cheddar cheese or grated Parmesan cheese
Combine beef and garlic in large skillet, cook over high heat 6 to 8 minutes or until meat is no longer pink, breaking meat apart with wooden spoon. Strain in a colander to remove excess fat and drippings. Add beef mixture to crock pot, layer broccoli, onion, basil, oregano, thyme, tomatoes, tomato paste and beef broth. Cover and cook on low 6 to 8 hours. Serve over pasta and sprinkle with cheese.
