Beef and Vegetable Medley

July 30, 2014 By Kara Leave a Comment

Beef and Vegetable Medley

I genuinely love to spend time in the kitchen….cooking, baking, organizing, however, I utterly hate doing dishes. I’d prefer to clean the bathroom (and I have two small boys) than spend my evening scrubbing pots.

This is where I get creative. To have a healthy, tasty dinner….with the least amount of pots as possible. It’s not always possible to accomplish this task.  However,  I have a few tried and true recipes that only require one pot that I save for those days I just don’t have a lot of time to be in the kitchen.

Beef and Vegetable Medley is also awesome because it’s a good way to use up the end of the week scraps of produce. During the summer, its’ fun to try and use as many farm stand veggies as you can.

Another way to change this up is slice, chop, mince, shred or spiralize your vegetables. The different textures make the dish make it fun. My kids love when I make ‘veggie noodles’ and devour them. If you don’t have a tool to do it, this one, is great.

To add a little heat when it’s just my husband and I, we add a few sliced jalapeno peppers to the mix!

If you need to stretch it out a bit, rice makes a perfect side. I will often add some cooked rice the next day to the leftovers and lunch is all set for everyone!

Beef and Vegetable Medley

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • salt and pepper (this is to taste)
  • 6 cloves of minced garlic (If you are not a huge garlic fan, cut that back)
  • 1 chopped onion
  • 2-3 spiraled (or sliced) zucchini
  • 2 shredded carrots
  • 1/2 head of thinly sliced cabbage

Directions

  1. Put ground beef, garlic, and onion in a pan.
  2. Salt and pepper to taste (I tend to salt my meat well and add less salt at the end)
  3. Cook until the meat is no longer pink.
  4. Add the rest of the vegetables.
  5. Cook on low until the vegetables are wilted. This can be a few minutes or longer depending on how crispy you like them.
  6. Season with more salt and pepper if needed
