Ground Beef & Veggie Skillet
Ground Beef & Veggie Skillet
I have been loving quick and easy recipes like this one recently. All you need is one pan & 20 minutes and you have yourself a delicious dinner packed full with veggies.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
- 1 lb grass-fed ground beef
- ½ cup onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 ½ tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- salt & pepper , to taste
- 1 cup zucchini , diced
- ½ cup summer squash, diced
- 1 cup fresh green beans, ends trimmed and cut into 1-2 inch pieces
- 1 (14.5 oz) can fire roasted tomatoes
- ½ cup cheese of choice , I used organic grass-fed cheddar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to broil.
- In a large oven proof skillet over medium high heat, heat the olive oil. When the oil is hot add in the ground beef and crumble it with a wooden spoon.
- Once the beef is almost cooked through add in the onion powder, garlic, basil, oregano and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 1 minute and then add in the rest of the vegetables. Cook for another 4-5 minutes or until the vegetables have softened slightly.
- Top the ground beef and vegetable mixture with the shredded cheese. Put the skillet in the oven and broil it just until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
