Instructions
  1. Brown ground beef with minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook over medium heat until meat is browned.
  2. Add tomatoes and remaining spices. Cover and simmer on low heat for another 10 minutes.
  3. Add the zucchini. Cover and cook for about 10 more minutes until zucchini is cooked, but still firm.
Recipe Notes

If your zucchini is very watery, sprinkle a pinch of salt over the cut pieces and let them sit for about 15 minutes before cooking. This will help draw out the excess moisture, resulting in a less watery dish.

Avoid overcrowding the skillet when browning the beef, as this can cause the meat to steam instead of browning properly.

Add your favorite veggies to make this recipe taste even more delicious, like mushrooms, bell peppers, and red onions.
