I am always thinking up ways to jazz up ground beef recipes. Yes, I am creative. I bought some zucchini this past weekend. This meal is fairly easy and delicious.

Ingredients For beefy potato zucchini dinner

  • 2 Tbsp
    butter
  • 2 Tbsp
    canola oil
  • 4 - 5 md
    russet potatoes, peeled and medium chunked
  • 2 lb
    ground beef
  • 4 md
    zucchini, cut in medium chunks
  • 1/2 lg
    onion, chopped
  • 3 clove
    garlic, minced or crushed
  • 14 oz
    pizza sauce
  • 1 c
    shredded mozzarella cheese

How To Make beefy potato zucchini dinner

  • 1
    Heat 2 Tbsp of butter and 2 Tbsp canola on medium/ high heat. Add in cubed potato. Stir and cook for about 5 minutes or until potatoes are almost done. I like a "bite" in my potato. It will soften more later in the skillet later.
  • 2
    Transfer potatoes to a bowl or platter.
  • 3
    In the same skillet, brown the ground beef. Drain.
  • 4
    Add the zucchini, onions, garlic, salt, and pepper.
  • 5
    Stir and cook until zucchini is crisp-tender and onions are translucent. I found covering it and letting it steam worked well.
  • 6
    Once the zucchini and onions are cooked, add the potatoes and pizza sauce.
  • 7
    Stir until combined and heat thoroughly. Check to see if you need more salt and pepper.
  • 8
    Add cheese. Cover until the cheese is melted.
