This is easy to prepare and gives you a lot of nutrition benefits. I got it from many of the wives at the Marine Corps Logistics Base, Albany, Georgia. The time consuming part is cutting up the vegetables you want to use. You can choose whatever meat or vegetables you like. You can make a double batch and have leftovers for breakfast. Cut up asparagus is also really good in this. Use less meat if you want.

• Ready In: 50 mins

Ingredients
