A simple and hearty 3-ingredient breakfast skillet featuring lean ground beef, fresh salsa, and perfectly steamed eggs cooked together in one pan. This quick, nutritious meal is packed with protein and bold flavors, ideal for a satisfying morning start.

Ingredients

Scale

Meat

  • 1 lb lean ground beef (preferably grass-fed, organic)

Vegetables & Sauces

  • 1 cup fresh salsa sauce (check for no added sugars)

Eggs

  • 6 medium eggs (organic, free-range preferred)

Oils

  • 1 tsp olive oil (regular cooking olive oil)

Instructions

  1. Heat Oil and Cook Beef: Add 1 teaspoon of olive oil to a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of lean ground beef and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink and fully cooked.
  2. Add Salsa and Simmer: Pour in 1 cup of fresh salsa and stir well to combine. Cook the mixture for an additional 2-3 minutes until the salsa is bubbling and has thickened slightly.
  3. Add Eggs Carefully: Break 6 medium eggs directly into the skillet, spacing them evenly apart to avoid breaking the yolks.
  4. Steam the Eggs: Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil to allow the eggs to steam. Cook for 6-7 minutes, or until the eggs reach your desired doneness.
  5. Serve: Optionally garnish with chopped green onions. Serve one egg per portion along with a generous helping of the spicy ground beef and salsa mixture.

Notes

  • Use lean, grass-fed ground beef for a healthier and more flavorful dish.
  • Choose fresh salsa from the refrigerator section to avoid excess added sugars.
  • Be careful when adding eggs to keep yolks intact for a visually appealing dish.
  • You can customize by adding chopped green onions or other fresh herbs as garnish.
  • Covering the skillet helps steam the eggs evenly without flipping.
