Tonight I am making a beef and vegetable
medley in a delicious homemade chunky
thick tomato sauce and served over pasta.
All made in one pot and ready to eat in
45 minutes from start to finish. I'm Tess
and welcome to my kitchen.
 
 
 
This is a great recipe if you have lots
of produce to use in the refrigerator
and if you're trying to get the kids to
eat more vegetables. This beef and
vegetable medley dinner is easy,
delicious and you can have ready to eat
in 45 minutes and that includes prep
time.
In my skillet on medium-high heat
I'm browning and chopping 1 pound of
ground beef and draining off any excess
fat. Seasoning with a little salt and
black pepper, cooking and stirring for
one minute and then removing from the
heat.
 
 
In the same pan or medium heat I'm
adding about two tablespoons of olive
oil, one cup of finely diced onions, 1/2 a
small diced green bell pepper, one large
diced carro,t a pinch of kosher salt and
black pepper. Cooking and stirring for
two to three minutes.
 
 
This is three large
cloves of minced garlic and one cup of
diced mushrooms.
 
Cooking and stirring for
a minute and then I'm adding in one
tablespoon of tomato paste. This will
help thicken our sauce. Giving that a
good stir until all the paste is
dispersed.
 
 
I'm adding in about a half a cup of
chicken broth to help deglaze the pan.
You can use water. Giving that a good
stir and bringing up to a simmer.
 
For the
seasonings I have one teaspoon each of
oregano and basil.Ggiving that a good
stir to combine.
 
 
This is one large can of
whole Marzano tomatoes with the juice.
Giving that a stir and bringing up to a
simmer. I'm giving the tomatoes a rough
chop as they cook. I really enjoy the
bright freshness the tomatoes add to the
sauce.
Letting this simmer for five minutes.
 
 
 
This is one small diced zucchini or one
and a half cups.
 
Giving that a good stir
and then adding the ground beef back
into the pan. Cooking and occasionally
stirring for 10 minutes or until the
zucchini is tender.
You want the sauce to
be thick so it lays on a bed of pasta.
You can add more broth or water if
needed.
 
 
 
Remember to give it a taste for
anymore seasonings.
 
 
 
Serving tonight with some rotini pasta
and topping with some grated Parmesan
cheese.
I love all the vegetables packed
into this flavorful sauce.
The ground
beef makes it rich and hearty. I hope you
give this one pot ground beef vegetable
medley dinner a try and enjoy.
