| | | Zucchini Beef & Gouda Skillet
Sour cream & grated gouda makes a nice sauce for this quick skillet meal.
1/2 lb. ground beef
1/2 onion, diced
1/2 green pepper, diced
several fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 medium zucchini, sliced
1 medium crookneck, sliced
salt & red pepper to taste
3/4 cup sour cream
2 oz. grated gouda
Brown ground beef in skillet, adding onion, green pepper, mushrooms, squash & seasonings. Stir fry until meat is cooked through & vegetables are tender crisp.
Add sour cream & grated cheese. Reduce heat & warm until cheese melts. Stir to blend & serve immediately.
Makes four servings
per serving:
calories: 295
fat: 22g
protein: 18g
carbs: 9g
I will prob'ly add something to this for texture next time . . . perhaps pine nuts or water chestnuts . . .

But I need something a little more healthy such as your recipe. And I'm assuming a crookneck is a type of squash or zucchinni ,is that right?

| | Oops - sorry . . . mebbe "crookneck" is a midwest term . . . they're just regular yellow summer squash. You could use all zukes, for that matter - I only use two kinds for the color contrast. Image: crookneck squash
And I DID add water chestnuts & pine nuts last time . . . the pine nuts weren't noticable, but the water chestnuts added terrific texture. I'll continue to use them in it.
