One Pot Ground Beef Stroganoff

This meal was a HUGE hit this week!  

My family loves Beef Stroganoff so I make it often, but always in the crockpot.

When I found this "one-pot" recipe, I jumped on it. 

It was delicious!!!

1 pound extra lean ground beef
½ cup diced yellow or white onion
1 tablespoon chopped garlic

Recently, I've been finding lots of "one-pot" recipes.

Typically my go-to meal is a crockpot one, but these one-pot meals are quickly gaining points with me.  If you have a good one-pot recipe to share, email it to me here

Crockpot Italian Zucchini Casserole

When I was searching for weekly dinner options last week, this picture caught my eye.  

I love anything with zucchini and so does the rest of my family, so I knew this would be on the menu for the week.  Plus, anything that can be cooked in the crockpot is a plus!

This meal did not disappoint.  We had no leftovers!

Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef, cooked and drained
1 green pepper, diced
3 zucchini, chopped
16 oz spaghetti sauce
15 oz diced tomatoes, undrained
2 cups brown rice, uncooked
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon dried, minced onion
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 cup mozzarella cheese

Instructions:
Dice vegetables while ground beef is browning in pain, drain.
Place vegetables, ground beef, and all other ingredients except cheese into the Crockpot.
Stir until combined well, cover, and cook on low for 4 hours.
Sprinkle cheese over top, cover, and cook an additional 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.

We ate this meal so fast that I didn't have a chance to snap my own picture.

But I will definitely be making this recipe again!
