This one-pan ground beef skillet is packed with seasoned beef, sautéed veggies, and melty cheese – all cooked together in under 30 minutes. Serve it as-is, over rice, in tortillas, or topped with a fried egg!
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef 80–90% lean
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion diced
- 1 red bell pepper chopped
- 1 zucchini chopped (optional)
- 1 cup corn kernels fresh, frozen, or canned
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp cumin
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Optional: chopped cilantro avocado, sour cream, lime wedges
Instructions
- Brown the beef:
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon (about 5–7 minutes). Drain excess fat if needed and set aside.
- Sauté the veggies:
- In the same skillet, add olive oil. Toss in the onion, bell pepper, zucchini, and corn. Cook for 5–6 minutes until softened.
- Combine and season:
- Add garlic and seasonings (chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper). Stir and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Return the beef to the pan and mix everything together.
- Add cheese:
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top. Cover the skillet for 2–3 minutes until the cheese is melted.
- Serve:
- Top with chopped cilantro, avocado slices, or a squeeze of lime if desired.
Notes
- Add a can of black beans or diced tomatoes to bulk it up.
- Serve with tortilla chips or over rice for a full meal.
- Make it spicy with jalapeños or hot sauce.
