This is my version of an easy, healthy, one pot meal. It works great with a head of chopped cabbage also. I serve it with cottage cheese.

SERVES 6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 lb lean ground beef or ground turkey
2 lbs medium zucchini, approx. 9, cut in 1/4-inch half circles
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 large white onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (26 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce, your choice
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried sweet basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
salt

Directions

1
Brown ground beef with onion and bell pepper in a large skillet or pot with lid. Drain grease.
2
Add garlic and seasonings. Stir.
3
Add zucchini and stir. Cover with lid and cook over medium heat for approximately 15 minutes until the zucchini is crisp tender (I don't add any water, the zucchini has enough). Stir about every 5 minutes.
4
Remove lid and stir in spaghetti sauce. Cook for another 5 minutes.
5
Great served with cottage cheese or topped with parmesan!

Another zucchini recipe for my summer needs of trying to stay ahead of our zucchini plants. This was easy to make, the kids loved it and best of all it used 2 pounds of zucchini. I used yellow squash, yellow zucchini and a mixture of mini colored peppers. I'll make this again. Made for Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup 2009 game.

Yummy, even when using veggie ground beef instead of the real thing. I added red chili flakes, pepper flakes, white wine, and topped it with parmesan. I put it over angel hair pasta, but next time will be using something heartier, such as penne.

Great way to use up one 2lb zucchini. I added some jalapenos and Worcestershire sauce -it tasted good with Parmesan cheese over pasta plus it was easy to make!
