Beefy Italian Ramen Skillet

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef, or to taste
• 16 slices pepperoni, or to taste
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
• 1 cup water
• 2 (3 ounce) packages beef-flavored ramen noodles
• 1 green bell peppers, cut into strips
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef and pepperoni slices in the hot skillet until beef is completely browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir tomatoes, water, and the seasoning packet contents from the ramen noodles into the beef mixture.

Break ramen noodle blocks into halves and add to beef mixture with the green bell pepper; cook until the noodles soften, about 5 minutes.

Remove skillet from heat, sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the beef mixture, and place a cover on the skillet; let mixture sit until cheese melts, 2 to 3 minutes.
