Skillet Veggie Bake

Hi Everyone,

Happy Tuesday to you! Today’s recipe is one of those random ones that I whipped together for a quick week night meal. It’s loaded with lots of veggies and well kind of tastes like a pizza topping to me. I love when you throw things together and it turns out delish! So today I have for you my Skillet Veggie Bake

This recipe makes a great use for those odds and ends veggies you may have left in the fridge. It’s made with peppers, zucchini, onion, and carrots and topped with tomato sauce and cheese! It’s like a pasta dish without the noodles.

I just added everything to my skillet and baked it in the oven until it was all bubbly and of course I had to top it with cheese. This makes for a wonderful, quick and easy weeknight dinner for 2. All you need to do is add a side with some crusty bread and a glass of wine! Plus to boot it’s only 173 calories for half the recipe.
