This is my favorite weeknight dinner when I want something satisfying but don't have much time to spend cooking. All the flavors of a classic cheeseburger come together in one pot, which means less cleanup for you and me both. The beef provides plenty of protein to keep you full, while the tomatoes add a burst of vitamins and antioxidants. Everything comes together in just 35 minutes from start to table, making it perfect for busy nights when you still want to serve something homemade and delicious that everyone will actually want to eat.
