Ground Beef and Potato Skillet
Ground beef cooked with potatoes, onion, and spices in one pan for an easy dinner.
Ground beef is one of the simplest ways to stretch one cook into several meals. Brown it once, and you’ve got a base ready to carry a few dinners without starting over.
Start with a hot pan so the beef browns instead of steaming. That first layer of color adds most of the flavor.
Spread it out and let it sit before breaking it apart. This helps develop a better texture.
Drain excess fat if needed, but leave a little for flavor depending on the dish.
Season after browning so the meat keeps its moisture while cooking.
If reheating, add a splash of water or sauce to bring it back without drying out.
Instead of saving recipes and writing grocery lists later, you can add meals directly to your weekly plan.
