A Hearty dinner

Its been awhile since I have posted a good recipe. Hmmmmmm I have been cooking! :) This is a good twist on Sloppy Joes. Next time I will be pureeing the veggies as the local 5yr old is not a zucchini fan. Makes a ton! Shhhhhhhhh don't tell anyone in my house but I also use turkey meat and sometimes ground chicken.

Sloppy Joe Rotini
4
cups uncooked rotini pasta (12 ounces)
2
pounds lean ground beef
4
cups Green Giant® Valley Fresh Steamers™ Niblets® frozen corn (from two 12 oz. bags)
2
cups water
2
small zucchini, sliced (2 cups)
2
jars (15 1/2 ounces each) extra-thick-and-chunky sloppy joe sauce
Serve with... Double-Onion Rolls Total Time: 30 min
1.
Cook and drain pasta as directed on package.
2.
While pasta is cooking, cook beef in Dutch oven over medium-high heat 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until brown; drain. Stir in pasta and remaining ingredients.
3.
Heat to boiling; reduce heat to medium. Cover and simmer 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until zucchini is crisp-tender.
