  • Author: Martha
  • Total Time: 0 hours

Ingredients

– 1 pound ground beef (lean)
– 2 medium zucchini, diced
– 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
– 1 medium onion, chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1/4 cup beef broth or water
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Preparing Ground Beef Zucchini Sweet Potato Skillet is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
2. Cook the Ground Beef: Add ground beef to the pan, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned, approximately 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Onions and Garlic: Stir in the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the onions are translucent.
4. Incorporate Sweet Potatoes: Add the cubed sweet potatoes along with the paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
5. Add Liquid: Pour in the beef broth or water to the skillet. This helps steam the sweet potatoes and prevents them from sticking.
6. Cover and Cook: Cover the skillet and reduce heat to medium. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally.
7. Add Zucchini: Once the sweet potatoes are tender, stir in the diced zucchini. Continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes until the zucchini is tender yet crisp.
8. Taste and Adjust: Taste the dish and adjust seasoning if necessary.
9. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

By following these steps, you’ll create a satisfying and delicious meal that’s packed with flavor!
