Healthy Dinner for Truckers
There’s no reason to not eat well while you’re on the road. You can easily prep real meals and take them on the road with you. Your home-cooked meals will be tastier and healthier than greasy burgers from fast food joints or truck stops.
This beef and broccoli meal can be pre-cooked and re-heated while you’re on the road or you can create it from scratch while you’re in the truck. It’s a simple and tasty recipe!
The best part is that you can change what you serve the concoction on. Rice is great, and rice re-heats in your microwave nicely, as do stir-fry noodles.
This beef and broccoli mix will reheat in the microwave fairly well. However, taking pre-cut beef from home and cooking it in your slow cooker while you drive results in a noticeably better supper.
