Beef & Rice Skillet Meal
One of our family’s FAVORITE 30 minute meals! Tasty, fast and filling and only 1 pot to clean up!!
The other evening we got home from an appointment way later than I expected and we were all tired and hungry. I was hating that I hadn’t thought to prep a slow cooker recipe that morning. I quickly rummaged through the pantry pulling out my quick meal staples. I had this! In no time at all we had a one skillet meal full of veggies, protein and grains, thanks to a well stocked pantry!
Not only did our last minute dinner come together quickly, Uncle Bee said it was one of his favorite meals I have made! This is going in our regular meal rotation!
