FIDEO RECIPE WITH GROUND BEEF RECIPES

Steps:

• In a non-stick pan, heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil. Cook diced potatoes until they start to turn golden.
• While potatoes are cooking, heat the other 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a separate pot. Mix the ground beef with the meat seasonings and cook until well done.
• Drain the excess oil and water from the ground beef, and put it back to cook some more. Remove the potatoes from the oil and toss with the ground beef.
• While the potato and beef mixture is cooking some more, brown the box of the vermicelli in the non-stick pan that has the remaining oil from cooking the potatoes.
• When the vermicelli is done, drain any excess oil (there shouldn't be much if any) and then add to the potato and beef mixture, along with the beef bouillon, water, and tomato sauce.
• Cook on high heat until it comes to a good boil, cover it and let it boil for 1-2 minutes. Turn off the heat completely and let sit for about 10 minutes. Serve and enjoy!

Steps:

• In a large pot, add 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil and 8 ounces of fideo.
• Heat to medium heat and cook, stirring often, until pasta is nicely toasted and browned. In that same pot, add the ground beef. Season with 1 teaspoon each of salt, pepper and granulated garlic. Cook until nicely browned.
• Add the leeks and garlic, cook until lightly browned. Season lightly with salt and pepper and add remaining vegetables, pour the broth over and cook for 8 to 10 minutes with the cover on the pot.
• Fluff up the fideo with a fork and season, place in a serving platter and garish with the cilantro.
  You may also garnish with your favorite grated cheese or if you like it spicy you may add a half diced jalepeno to the vegetables when adding to the pasta.
