This Mongolian-style ground Beef with Rice Noodles takes a takeout favorite and turns it into an easy weeknight meal made lighter.
Rice noodles are great in this dish because they are gluten-free and take on all the flavors in the sauce easily.
I like to use ground beef because it’s always readily available in my fridge on weeknights. I know I can throw this together quickly when in a pinch!

My husband and I made this last night after returning home from a really long day out of town and it came together so quickly, but had such great flavors. It really hit the spot. I did everything exactly as written down to the type of noodles you bought. This will definitely be printed off for recipes to keep in our collection. Our baby was too little to try this, but I know it will be a family favorite. It also heated back up in the oven really well, even the noodles, for lunch the next day. Thank you Elizabeth for blessing our family with great recipes. I love watching your videos. Do you have a cookbook??
Such a great idea for a quick dinner, loved it so much!
We are enjoying your recipes so much! This Mongolian Ground Beef is healthy and delicious just like the others have been. My family is enjoying them and I feel like we are eating more veggies in, which is really great. My husband gets tired of salad lol. We added roasted broccoli to this one. Blessings!
Very delicious! Husband and toddler approved! This is a staple and has made its way into my recipe box. (I only put recipes we use very often in there)
We eat in a lot and I miss meals out so was anxious to try this. It was easy to put together and very tasty. My husband is not a “pasta, or noodle” fan but he enjoyed this. Printing off some more recipes to try.
