Mediterranean Ground Beef Skillet

This one-pan meal is easy and flavorful. If you're doing a Whole30 or don't do well with dairy, just omit the feta cheese.

Ingredients

  • 1 T olive oil
  • 1 1/2 C zucchini, cut into 1/4 inch thick rounds and then quartered
  • 1/4 C sun-dried tomatoes, roughly chopped (packed in olive oil)
  • 2 C baby spinach
  • 5 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 T yellow onion, small dice
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2oz feta cheese, crumbled (omit on Whole30)
  • 1 T lemon juice

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet on medium heat, add the olive oil, garlic, and onion. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring often to ensure the garlic doesn't burn.
  2. Add the beef to the skillet and break it into small pieces. Cook the beef until it's no longer pink and then add the oregano and sea salt. Stir everything to combine thoroughly.
  3. Add in the zucchini, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, and lemon juice. Turn the heat to low and continue cooking, occasionally stirring, until the spinach is wilted and the zucchini is tender- about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Top the beef mixture with the crumbled feta cheese and serve.
