Mongolian Ground Beef Noodles

Mongolian Ground Beef Noodles

When we order Chinese food, Mongolian beef is always on our list. There’s nothing better than the taste of this sweet and salty sauce! But the good news is you don’t have to order takeout to get it. These Mongolian Ground Beef Noodles only take fifteen minutes to prepare (which is much quicker than any other takeout dish) and you get the same delicious flavor but in the form of a comforting noodle dish. That’s like a triple win!While Mongolian beef typically uses skirt steak, this noodle version uses ground beef to make things super quick and affordable. I don’t know about you, but I usually have a pound of ground beef stored somewhere in the freezer, so you can easily rely on this recipe when you run out of time to plan dinner or shop.
