  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound ground beef, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper, and 2 cloves minced garlic. Cook, breaking up the beef, until browned and no longer pink (about 8-10 minutes).

  4. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes and squash are tender.
  5. Stir in 1 cup chopped yellow squash, 1 cup chopped zucchini, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  6. Heat through for 2-3 minutes.
  7. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese) over the top.
  8. Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!
