     Coming up with simple ideas for lunch is not an easy task!  So nothing is more thrilling than when all things healthy come together in one pan without a hassle.  Such is the case with my Beef and Bean Ranch Skillet.  And the beauty of this is that you can simply divide it up into 5 containers for lunch all week.  Each of the 2 cup servings are only 357 calories, 43g carbs, 14g fiber, 29g net carbs, 32g protein and 4g fat.  Such a luxury to have on hand ready to go in an instant.  This one pot meal is a winner all the way around.  :)

Ingredients for 5 servings~

1 pound of 96% lean ground Beef

1 diced Onion

1 Tablespoon chopped Garlic

1/4 cup Ranch Seasoning, use packet or my Homemade

4 cups chopped fresh Broccoli

1 pound chopped fresh Zucchini

1 Red Bell Pepper, trimmed and diced

2 cans of your favorite Bean (I used Light Red Kidney)

1 can petite diced Tomatoes (I use no salt added)

     Add Beef, Onion and Garlic to large pot or extra large skillet, brown til Onions soften, drain if necessary, then stir in seasonings.  To that add the Broccoli til crisp tender, then add Zucchini til beginning to soften, then add in Peppers, Beans and Tomatoes.  Stir til thoroughly combined, and heated thru and well incorporated.  If desired, divide into 2 cup tupperware containers and use for lunch all week.  Enjoy  :)
