Teriyaki Ground Beef Skillet
“This was a delicious recipe; so full of flavor! I used Soyvay teriyaki sauce which is a thicker variety.” —Cyndy Beer
One-Pot Ground Beef Stroganoff
“This was a big hit! The only things I did differently were I cooked the beef in sautéed onion then added mushrooms. I also added an extra half cup of milk (because that’s what I had left and didn’t want to waste it). Oh, and I added pepper. It fed 4 of us, including two teenage boys and there were no left overs! Simple and tasty, my kind of meal!” —DfromATX
Easy One-Pan Taco Skillet
“This is a great recipe as written; add a rinsed can of black beans and replace tomatoes with Rotels, serve with shredded Mexican blend cheese, shredded lettuce and diced fresh tomato with a dollop of sour cream over tortilla chips-it becomes phenomenal!” —Marsha Pugh
Zucchini and Ground Beef Skillet
“Super yummy…husband said we will have to have it again. I didn’t have enough zucchini so I mixed it with yellow squash, also used fire-roasted tomatoes, then added Italian seasoning and pesto. Topped with Colby Jack, mozzarella, and Parmesan.” —GlitzyHam7868
Southern Ground Beef and Bean Skillet
“Easy and tasty. I added a cup of cooked rice that I had left over. The rice was cooked in Knorr’s beef broth granules. This recipe is great on the budget.” —Jack Williams
Tex-Mex Ground Beef and Potato Skillet
“Sometimes you want a Southwest or Tex-Mex dish that doesn’t have cornmeal, beans, corn, or flour tortillas. This recipe fills the bill. Absolutely delicious.” —Rowen
Easy One-Skillet Ground Beef Burrito
“This recipe is so easy to make and delicious! I highly recommend and easy to make your own. Add fresh tomatoes, green onions, black olives, and so forth. Leftovers are great too!” —LoyalBun8437
Ground Beef and Cabbage
Dotdash Meredith Food Studios
“This is pretty darn good… And easy. It reminds me of cabbage rolls. Sometimes I replace the Italian seasoning with an envelope of onion soup mix. I normally serve it with fresh baked bread and a green salad. My family lives this and let’s face it — it’s a lot less work than cabbage rolls.” —Monica

Fire-Roasted Corn and Beef Skillet Pie
“This was great. Quick and easy weeknight dinner. I followed the recipe almost exactly. I couldn’t find frozen fire roasted corn so I used fresh corn and roasted it on my grill. Simple and tasty recipe that you can customize to your family’s tastes.” —Mark Keefer
One-Pan Cheeseburger Rice
Peyton Beckwith
“Quick, easy and delicious! I was surprised at how much it tasted like a Big Mac. I will definitely be making it again.” —Trixie
Classic Cuban-Style Picadillo
“Delicious and exactly how my Cuban mom makes it. Careful on the cumin though, and you can easily double to garlic and olives. Most importantly, don’t forget the hot sauce!” —SunnyMug1573
Easy Skillet Spaghetti
“This does take an hour to cook, but you have only one pan to clean, it just couldn’t be simpler to make, and all ingredients are ones that I always have on hand. Nothing fancy here, but this is a solid weeknight meal that really does taste good. Simply served with salad and some garlic bread which I made from a ciabatta roll.” —lutzflcat
One-Pan Stuffed Pepper Casserole
John Mitzewich
“Stuffed Peppers cook unevenly and just need to be cut apart later anyways. This is a better and easier recipe. Kid approved.” —Paul de Boer
