How to Make Zucchini And Ground Beef Casserole

  1. Brown 1 lb ground beef with 1/2 cup chopped onions and 2 cloves minced garlic in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.

  3. Stir in 1 (15-ounce) jar of your favorite salsa and 1 tsp ground cumin.
  4. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Add 3 medium zucchini, chopped into 1-inch chunks.
  6. Cover and cook for another 10-15 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender-crisp. Do not overcook.
  7. Serve hot over rice, spaghetti, your favorite pasta, or use as a filling for tacos or burritos.
