About This Recipe

This recipe is so good in the winter, but can absolutely be a bit spicy. i like to add greek yogurt, but sour cream is probably more traditional.

i have absolutely no idea what to call it. the recipe i adapted it frommcalls it “mexican zucchini beef skillet” which is an attractive name. not sure what makes it mexican other than the cumin.

this recipe used to remind me of a stuffed pepper filling. so i used to make it with pepper and rice. rice is still pretty good in it, but i found the peppers would get soggy.

as always, all seasonings are optional and adjustable. if it’s too liquidy you can always boil off some of the water to help.
