Beef and Broccoli Noodle Bowls

Beef and broccoli is a dinner favorite, and adding noodles makes it a full meal in one bowl. Thinly sliced beef, tender broccoli, and a simple garlic soy sauce come together while the noodles cook.

Use spaghetti or rice noodles, whichever you have on hand. Once the sauce thickens in the skillet, toss everything together and dinner is ready.
