Do you have one night each week that is absolutely crazy" Crazy as in...ain't nobody gettin' anything homemade for dinner because mama is running around delivering everyone where they need to be all night long"
That's my Monday.
This is the meal for Mondays. If you can brown some beef, dump some cans (you don't even have to drain them) and stir, you've got this. It's so easy. I serve it with some crusty bread and call it good. Protein and veggies in one bowl, plus a little bread = a perfect weeknight meal. It uses taco and ranch seasoning for flavor, which is genius because it's so quick and easy. It's also delicious.
