What’s better than a tasty meal? Not having a ton of dishes to clean up afterwards! This one pot dinner will be a family favorite and one you’ll love making.
Here’s what you’ll need;
- One pound of hamburger
- One medium sized zucchini
- Small bell pepper (I used red)
- One can of Hunt’s Diced Tomatoes with Basil, Garlic & Oregano
- 1/4 of onion
- One cup of rice
- Two cups of beef broth
- Spices (I used salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and oregano)
- Half a block of cream cheese
- Cheese
First, heat up your pan. While you’re waiting, cut your onion, pepper, and zucchini.
Once it’s heated up add the ground beef, onion, and pepper. I added some of the spice blend. When it’s browned, drain the oil.
Next, add the zucchini, tomatoes, rice, and beef broth. Don’t drain the tomatoes because the rice will soak up that juice too! Add the rest of your spice blend here.
Cover and stir every couple minutes.
Once the rice starts to soften, add in the cream cheese. Mix it until it blends throughout.
When the rice is done, take off heat and add in cheese. You can use any type of cheese. We used shredded colby jack!
Mila is also obsessed with eggs right now, so I put an over-medium egg over top of hers and and an easy-over egg on mine. I personally love the taste of egg yolk. It pulled the meal together.
