Here’s a great beef and noodle skillet meal that’s been in the family for years. Hearty, beefy stick to your ribs meal that cooks up in about 45 minutes, most of it hands off time, making it perfect for a weeknight.
I have no idea where the name Mezetti came from, I assume it’s the name of the person that first came up with the recipe. The original was made with canned soup, and over the years Ma’am and I have switched it up to use fresher ingredients. Lower sodium and just as easy.
This makes a great meal for camping. You can precook the meat at home and cook it over the fire in a cast iron skillet or Dutch oven.
I had a difficult time finding fine egg noodles – go figure. So, I just broke up half a pack of angel hair pasta into about 2 ” pieces. If you go with wider noodles you will probably need more water and longer cooking time. If you are going to make this on a campout, I think the angel hair will be easier to transport.
The only other change I made was to use fresh mushrooms instead of canned because I got a great deal on them this week. I just added a little extra liquid to make sure the noodles had enough to cook through.
Add some bread and a salad or other vegetables and you have a simple hearty meal.

Love egg noodles. There is just something about them with beef that really makes my mouth water! Thank you. #ibabloggers!
This looks great! I think that for our family, I would stick with the Angel Hair pasta. I make something similar only with rice. Have a great week! #ibablogger
