Ingredients
- Half an onion chopped
- 1 bell pepper diced
- 1 zucchini diced
- Handful chopped mushrooms optional. I ran out but I love adding them in this dish
- 2-3 cloves of garlic finely minced
- Handful of spinach roughly chopped
- 1-1.25lb ground beef. I used 90/10. Can also do ground turkey or chicken.
- Spices, salt, pepper, garlic powder, Italian seasoning
- Half jar of your favorite pasta sauce. I did the four cheese
- 3 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
- Small handful chopped parsley
- 3-4 russet potatoes peeled and cut into roughly 1 inch round discs
- Some olive oil for cooking and brushing the potatoes
Instructions
- Start by peeling potatoes and cutting them into discs. Add them to salted water and boil until fork tender. Then remove from water and set aside.
- In the meantime, heat a large skillet with some olive oil. Once hot, add in chopped onions, bell peppers, zucchini, and mushrooms. Cook until soft.
- Add in the minced garlic and give it a stir. Cook for a minute until garlic is fragrant.
- Add the the beef and crumble it up well. Add spices and cook until no longer pink.
- Add in the pasta sauce, stir and add in the chopped spinach. Cook until sauce is bubbly and spinach has wilted down and remove from heat.
- Then, add the boiled potato discs flat on top of the meat mixture. Brush on some olive oil and add grated parmesan and chopped parsley.
- Broil this in the oven until cheese is bubbly and golden brown. About 3-4 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy!
