GROUND BEEF VEGGIE BOWL

Ground beef is a versatile protein that can be used for more than just burgers or casseroles. It’s easy to cook and fairly inexpensive, and everyone loves it.

This is one of those recipes that just kind of happened because of what I had in the fridge, it was not planned this way, but it is definitely something I would make again which is why I’m sharing here. It’s a nutritious weeknight meal that is made in one pan, so it requires practically no cleanup.

The beauty of recipes like this is that you can truly customize it based on what you have on hand. There’s no wrong way to do it, but it’s always delicious.

I used some leftover bagged cabbage mix, broccoli, and green onions for the veggies, so it was a great combo of tender, crunchy, and flavorful. For seasoning, I kept it simple with Ava Jane’s Kitchen Citrus Salt and Pepper seasoning. This blend subtly seasons everything and is a great all-purpose seasoning for things like this.

Use this again: This would be great served over rice or in a pita and would be delicious stuffed in a baked potato.

For one or two servings: The nature of this recipe makes it easily customizable — you can simply cut in half/double the ingredients or ramp up the meat or veg for your personal preferences.

Store leftovers: You can store leftovers in an airtight container for a day or two and reheat in the microwave; keep in mind that some veggies like broccoli or cabbage may not hold up as well the next day.
