Barbara Seelig-Brown loves creating versatile recipes that you can tailor to your family’s preferences. Use this basic concept and vary the veggies and seasoning for a different taste each time you make this dish. This is also great because it’s a one-pot dish. Barbara also recommends trying it with ground turkey or ground buffalo, which has almost no saturated fat.
Place olive oil in large sauté pan or skillet. Add beef, onions, and garlic and cook until beef is browned.
Add vegetables and the seasoning, and mix well. Add the noodles and mix well. Add the broth and enough water to cover everything.
Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook until noodles are tender, approximately 15 minutes.

I made two versions of this for dinner - one for myself (Type 1), and one for the rest of my family (Non diabetic for the most part). My version (with zucchini noodles) was much, much less watery and had less pan-sticking issues (likely due to having less starch in the water).
If you like Zucchini noodles, I'd just do it that way (even pre-frozen works). You do have to compensate for the difference in flavor depending on how you make the zucchini noodles, though, since pre-frozen doesn't always need to be boiled in broth or water. If they're frozen, you may want to stir fry them after with an oil (or butter) and some seasonings to add a better texture and flavor. Umami is a good one, if you can tolerate the sodium.
As-written the recipe smelled great but did not turn out very visually appealing, and I can't speak much to the texture...but it did indeed look like Slop. A tasty slop, if my family is to be believed, but slop nonetheless. If you have an aversion to textures this may be an issue for you!
If I make this again, I will simply take the concepts and make it my own instead.
