Feel free to get creative with this recipe! You can substitute ground turkey for a leaner version, or use whole grain pasta for a healthier twist. If you prefer spicier food, add a chopped jalapeño or a dash of hot sauce.
For a vegetarian option, skip the ground beef and double up on the beans and veggies. And if you’re short on time in the evening, you can prepare the beef mixture the night before and refrigerate it—just pop it into the slow cooker in the morning before you head to work.
