Notes
I love any meal that is easy, healthy and adds flavor to my family’s dinner time bringing them racing to the table. With busy schedules, I need all the help I can get and this is a great meal to throw together or make ahead on the weekend and reheat. You can also double it and freeze the other 1/2 to put in smaller lunch sized containers creating re-heatable lunches. And best of all…1 pot clean-up!
Enjoy!

My entire family thought this was really good.
My whole family loved it. I added a bunch of mushrooms and cooked it in a regular pot. The longer cooking allowed the sauce to condense down and bring out the flavors.
My family loved it. I did add extra tomato sauce (8oz) and 2 more zucchinis and a little garlic salt to make “more sauce”. I served it over big Italian pasta noodles (for my 2 teens) plus a big salad for all of us. The family actually all asked for it again and my 17 year old son was guessing all the ingredients and questioning me on the recipe wanting to know exactly how it was prepared. Every bit was eaten.
This is my husbands & mine favorite recipe so far. Made enough for 2 & regretted not making for 4. Will definitely make again.
Love this! Chopped up the harder ends of celery when I was prepping snacks, threw them in. Chopped up zucchini and tossed in as well. Baked in oven.
Also another time I browned boneless chuck and added thyme and more broth. That was AWESOME! Soup/stew.
Always a favorite! I also cook it in the crockpot which really melds the flavors!
One of our favorite recipes. So easy.
