Ground Beef and Summer Squash Skillet

Recipe #295832 | 1¼ hours | 15 min prep | SERVES 4 -6 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: dragonflydmc

I was given this family favorite recipe almost 40 years ago. It's easy to prepare, cooks fairly quickly and the flavors of the ground beef, squash, tomatoes, onions & rice are beautiful together! Serve it with a simple salad and cornbread and you have a meal! And you don't even have to brown the ground beef!
