Easy, one pot Pasta & Burger

I don't have much to say about this except that I had these ingredients, and this is what I was inspired to make quickly! This is really hearty and not light in any sense of the meaning. But it's SO tasty and warm. Comfort food at its best.

• 1 lb. ground beef (we use VERY LEAN grass fed burger, this makes a huge difference in fat level)

• 2 T butter

• 2 cups frozen shredded zucchini

• 1 red pepper thinly sliced

• 1 package of pasta (I used penne)

• 4 T Worcestershire

• 2 T garlic power

• 1 T oregano

• 1 t paprika

• 1 T Marjoram

• Salt & Pepper

• 32 oz Beef Broth

• 1/3 C Half & Half Room temp

• About ½ a C of shredded cheddar cheese

DIRECTIONS

In large pot (I used my cast iron dutch oven) Brown beef in butter, add zucchini and bell pepper Worcestershire sauce and seasonings, cook for about 3 minutes. Add in beef broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmer & cook covered until pasta is al dente. Turn off and remove from heat. Add in half & half & finely shredded cheese. Stir well. Top with scallions or fresh basil.

Seriously. this is So tasty! and SO easy! I loved it. and the kids loved it just as much. I know what we are having for lunch tomorrow! **wink wink.
