Simple Series: Beef Veggie Casserole

Who says healthy eating has to complicated?  True, whole fresh foods often do take some measure of prep in relation to processed packaged foods, but it is MUCH more of a minimal task if you know what you are doing and prepare in bulk.  And let's face it - processed foods should not even be an option at this point if you have any regard for your health and wellness at all!

Here is my first super easy recipe that your whole family will love and you can munch on all week.  It really feels like comfort food and works well for any meal of the day.

Ingredients:
* ground beef
* 1 sweet white or yellow onion
* brussel sprouts
* 1 frozen bag of cut green beans
* fresh spinach
* tomato sauce (I always choose a brand in a glass container with no corn syrup and no sugar in the ingredient list - or I get some crushed tomatoes and tomato paste and add my own spices for a sauce)

To make:
1) Chop then cook the onion until clear (I use coconut oil or organic butter), set aside.
2) Cook beef, drain and add the onions back into the wok/large pan.
3) Add chopped brussel sprouts, some frozen green beans, chopped spinach and the tomato sauce.
4) Cover and simmer on medium/low mixing every so often until spinach is wilted and beans/brussels are tender.
5) Done! So easy and quick - reheats well or can even be yummy cold. A bowl of this casserole is really healthy as it has great protein and nutrient density with both the beef and veggies - a complete meal!
