Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Ground Beef
  • 1 Large Zucchini, chopped
  • 2 Cloves Minced Garlic
  • 1 Medium Onion, Diced
  • 1 10 oz Can Ro-Tel Diced Tomatoes and Green Chilis
  • 1/2 tsp Chili Powder

  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • Garlic Salt and Seasoned Salt

Instructions
 

  • Brown the ground beef along with the garlic and onion in a large skillet. Season with garlic salt and seasoned salt.
  • Cook the rice according to the package directions.
  • Once the meat has browned and the onions are slightly translucent, add the diced tomatoes and green chilis (with the juices from the can), as well as the spices. Let cook for about 3 minutes.
  • When the rice is very close to being cooked, add the zucchini and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir and let simmer for just a short time, being sure not to over cook the zucchini.
  • As soon as the rice is finished cooking, add it to the skillet. Stir to combine and taste to check seasonings.
