Zucchini Beef Skillet

1 lb. ground beef
1 c. chopped onion
1 diced pepper
5 c. thinly sliced zucchini (approx 3 medium zucchinis)
15 oz. can of diced tomatoes (or 2 lg. tomatoes peeled, seeded, and sliced)
1 T. pimento (opt. - I've never added this!)
1 c. fresh, frozen, or canned corn
1 clove minced garlic
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. chili powder

Rice or Crusty Bread

Brown hamburger with onions, add peppers and garlic. Cook 2-3 minutes longer. Add remaining ingredients. Cover and simmer until veggies are tender (about 10-15 min). Serve with crusty bread or rice.

Price Guesstimate: $5-ish

Steph's Comments: I picked this recipe to help us get ready for zucchini season! Usually by the end of the summer everyone has zucchini coming out of their ears, so this is a great way to use it. I don't remember where I got this recipe from, but it's become a staple during the harvest season for our family. I have a few other zucchini recipes that I LOVE, so I'll be putting those up in the next little while. Enjoy!

  1. We just made this for dinner and it had such a good flavor! Thanks :) (we substituted spaghetti squash for the zucchini and added black beans)
