Inexpensive ground beef, one skillet and 30 minutes is all it takes for this great divan family dinner

This delicious ground beef divan dinner takes one skillet and is on the table in 30 minutes. Easy and the family will love it too!

Ground Beef Divan To The Rescue

If you’ve had a busy day and want something simple, this meal is just what the doctor ordered.

There’s not many of us who don’t have ground beef on hand, and here’s a great way to use it. This skillet dinner also relies on a couple of convenient pantry staples so it comes together quickly and easily.

Kid Pleasing Dinner

This is one meal the kiddos will love–grown-ups too!

It has a mild flavor. There’s nothing in it that will shock the taste buds or bite you in the butt. In other words, this is comfort food. Who doesn’t love a nice plate of comfort?

Even fussy eaters will enjoy this and it’s a complete meal in itself because it contains the spaghetti, meat and veggies.

Substitutions Make It Different

The recipe calls for store-bought alfredo sauce, but if you don’t have that on hand you can make your own, of course!

However, it’s equally as good when you substitute your own condensed cream of mushroom soup and even the canned variety will do.  If you’re a fan of golden mushroom soup, that gives this a wonderful flavor as well.

Have Leftover Pasta?

This is also a great way to use up leftover spaghetti–or any pasta.

So if you have spaghetti or any pasta-style dinner in your meal plan and also plan to make this recipe in the same week, make a “planned over” from the pasta-based dinner to make this meal. The leftovers will soak up the flavors of the sauce so pre-cooked pasta won’t have any off flavors nor texture.
