2–3 minutes

Introduction

This burger is a family favorite. It’s simple to make and fully customizable. My family members have different preferences and dietary needs. On a busy day, you can quickly whip this together in 30 minutes. Everyone is fed, which makes for a happy family.

If you make the basic meat mixture of hamburger and onions, you can freeze it. Pull it out of the oven when you are ready to make the skillet. Whip up the sauce and prepare the toppings. It will take less time to get dinner on the table.

For the salt and pepper, I use the Kinder’s Blend, which is salt, pepper, and garlic.

What can you serve with it?

French fries – Frozen or this recipe

Sweet potato fries

Tater tots

Roasted potatoes

Fried potatoes

Coleslaw

How to Serve it

Eat by itself

Eat it as a bowl with the fries or roasted potatoes as the base.

Over a bed of lettuce, like a salad

Topping Ideas for the Burger Skillet

Ways to Adapt The Recipe

The type of meat – Use Ground beef or ground turkey

Add cooked lentils for fiber, iron, protein, and folate

Use an avocado oil-based mayo

Flavor combination that I think would be delicious:

the burger skillet, Swiss cheese, grilled onions and mushrooms, mayo, and sauerkraut
