Happy Wednesday, friends!
Today, I’m re-sharing an updated version of one of my family’s favorite easy weeknight go-to meals. It’s my Beef & Rice Skillet Supper!
Every single time I make this recipe, I think to myself “why don’t I make this more often”. It’s a one pot wonder that comes together easily in under 30 minutes, and bonus, it’s g-free. Plus, if you use frozen rice, it’s even easier. I made this for dinner just this week, and my family, once again, ate it all up.
At our house, we add more ground beef and maybe a can of Rotel. Honestly, this is just easy to add/remove as needed. No matter your family’s size, you can modify and make this easy dinner.
Enjoy!

Notes
If you’re making this for a larger family, add in more of what you love and taste as it simmers. You don’t necessarily have to double the entire recipe unless you want to. Add in other veggies you have on hand as well!

It’s like a homemade Chipotle bowl! Yumm! Putting this on my list for meal prep next week.
Jaime says
Okay this is such a random question but How many pounds of ground beef does your family buy per week?
Mix and Match Mama says
It varies, but a lot! We eat about 3 pounds with every ground beef recipe.
Katie says
Definitely adding this to my dinners. Might pour it over chips and Voila!!!…Nachos! Thank you for always sharing fun and easy dinners!
Jaime says
How much ground beef do you typically use when making this for your family? 1.5 pounds? Less?
Mix and Match Mama says
Right now, we’re upping our protein over here, so I would use at least 2 pounds if not three.
