Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 4 ounces cream cheese, cubed
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup heavy whipping cream
• 4 cups zucchini noodles (zoodles)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet, cooking until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

Step 4

Season the cooked meat with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano, stirring to mix thoroughly.

Step 5

Add the cubed cream cheese to the skillet, stirring continuously until melted and well combined with the meat.

Step 6

Pour in the heavy whipping cream, stirring until the mixture becomes creamy and smooth.

Step 7

Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the skillet and stir until melted and the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Carefully fold in the zucchini noodles, mixing gently to combine them with the cheesy meat sauce.

Step 9

Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the zoodles are tender but not mushy.

Step 10

Remove from heat and let it sit for a minute to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 11

Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
