  • 1 pound Ground Beef (93% lean or leaner)
  • 4 small red-skinned new potatoes (about 6 ounces), cut into 6 wedges each
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup thinly sliced yellow onion
  • 1 small zucchini, cut lengthwise in half, then crosswise into 1/4-inch thick slices

  • 3 tablespoons shredded Italian cheese blend
  • 1/2 cup chopped tomato

Instructions
