Quick and Easy Beef Skillet

I was going through all my old recipes that used canned soups and I came across this one. When I first moved out on my own I was always in search of quick, easy and cheap meals and this is one I enjoyed often. I originally made this using condensed cream of tomato soup but have since changed to the Wolfgang Puck Classic Tomato Basil soup which is gluten free and tastes even better.

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 pound ground beef

2 to 3 cloves garlic, minced

1 chopped yellow onion

1 can (398 ml) Classic Tomato Basil soup (Wolfgang Puck Brand)

1/4 cup GF ketchup

1/2 tablespoon GF Worcestershire sauce

1 can (19 ounce) potatoes, drained

1 cup frozen carrots that have been thawed

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon chili powder

Salt to taste

Pepper to taste

Hot sauce to taste

DIRECTIONS

Place the beef garlic and onion in a skillet, season with salt and pepper and cook until beef is browned and onion is tender.

Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover and simmer for 5 minutes.

Taste and adjust seasonings.

Enjoy!
