Easy Skillet Recipe



I really feel guilty even calling this a recipe it's so simple.



It happened to be one of those days I have ground beef to use up along with chopped cabbage from making coleslaw.



I threw in a few other ingredients not knowing this would be a family favorite side dish.



With the addition of some other pantry ingredients, this can be anything from a whole dinner meal to a filling for tacos!



Make sure you check my many suggestions and uses for this skillet below.



Sometimes the tastiest recipes are made with just using what's in the refrigerator.



I have to admit I do get tired of coming up with something different, making the same thing year after year can be a little dull.



This skillet is a nice makeover to one-pan meals.
