RECIPE TIPS
Recipe Variations
I like to mix it up and use different vegetables.
My second favorite veggie combination for this recipe is shiitake mushrooms, zucchini, and kale.
You can use any type of ground meat that you like. Ground beef, ground lamb, or ground turkey are all great in this hearty dinner meal.
