Fideo the Easy Way

Here is my way of making a tasty and fairly cheap meal of Tex-Mex fideo. This is the crowd pleasing, keep the stuff on hand because you never know who will show up kind of meal.

Gather the Needed Stuff

For this recipe i used the following:

2-poblano peppers, you could use green bell peppers but its a totally different taste
2- potatoes, any will do
1-onion
1-box of fideo noodles
1- can of diced tomatoes
2 pounds of hamburger
and of course fideo ole from Bolners spices. Here is there website (https://www.fiestaspices.com/index.asp) if you cant find them at your local grocery store

Brown the Noodles

This is a very important step, I don't know why but it adds to the over all flavor of the soup. I just dump the noodles in a pan without any oil and let them brown on med heat while I cut everything else up. It doesn't take long and you just want them a darker shade of brown then what they look like out of the box. Be careful to not burn them.

Start Browning the Hamburger Meat.

I normally brown the hamburger at a med high heat. Just make sure its all fully cooked

Chop Up All the Vegetables

I chop up everything into dice sized or smaller pieces while i am waiting on the hamburger and noodles to brown.

Put It All Together

Once the hamburger is browned add all of the chopped vegetables to it and stir them in.

The Most Important Part

Eat it after the noodles are cooked and the vegetables are soft. Enjoy
