Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Quick Greek Skillet Dinner.
Step 1
Start by filling a large pot with lightly salted water and bringing it to a rolling boil.

Once the water is bubbling, toss in the elbow macaroni and let it cook for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until it reaches that perfect al dente texture.
Step 3
After cooking, drain the pasta and set it aside, letting it rest while you prepare the rest of the dish.
Step 4
In a spacious skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and minced garlic.

Once the beef is lightly browned, it’s time to add the sliced carrots.

Cook them for about 5 minutes, allowing them to soften and sweeten.

Next, stir in the sliced zucchini and sprinkle in some dried oregano, continuing to cook for another 5 minutes.
Step 10
Don’t forget to season with salt and pepper to taste; this is where the flavors really start to come together.

When the vegetables are tender and vibrant, pour in the tomato soup and a splash of water, then gently fold in the cooked elbow macaroni.

Give everything a good stir, ensuring that the pasta is well-coated with the delicious sauce.
Step 13
Let it simmer for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, allowing all the flavors to meld beautifully and the dish to heat through.
