Homework Casserole–a high protein, beefy asian infused dish with cabbage, carrots and rice. The perfect food to fuel you to get some work done!
Homework Casserole
This is the time of the semester when a certain kid I have has to, in his words, “make an academic comeback.” There has been lots of hammering out homework assignments and projects that have been neglected for weeks. I don’t love this style of doing school but sometimes I just have to shrug and move on and let him learn for himself that this might not be the best strategy. Anyhow, this was a dinner that he was happy to come and eat during a break from the school work. He loved how it was more rice with meat rather than meat with rice. Lots of yummy asian flavors and lots of protein. Enjoy this easy Instant Pot one pot meat!
