meat 'n' potatoes skillet meal



If you love meat and potatoes meals, this is for you.

If you love one-pot skillet meals, this is for you.

If you love dinners chock full of fresh veggies, this is for you.

Chances are, this is for you.


We just love this meal.  It's easy and simple to make, requires very little clean-up, and it gets my hubby to eat his veggies!  And, because it uses only fresh ingredients, it's a meal that I don't have to feel guilty about.

Serve this hearty meal by just dumping it in a pile on each plate. :-)  We love to drizzle BBQ sauce over the meat patties for an extra kick.

Meat 'n' Potatoes Skillet Meal
  • 3-4 slices bacon, cut in half
  • 1 lb. ground meat (beef or turkey), shaped into 4 patties
  • 1/2 onion, sliced
  • 4 potatoes, sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups baby carrots
  • 1 cup mushrooms
  • 1/4-1/2 cup red wine (or water)
  • salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings to taste

Line the bottom of a large skillet with bacon.  Place meat patties over the bacon and sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Place onion slices over patties.  Cover onion with potatoes, and surround meat patties with carrots and mushrooms.  Sprinkle all with your favorite seasonings.  Cover and cook on medium-high heat until bacon begins to sizzle.  Add wine; cover and cook on medium-low heat for 20-25 minutes.  Flip meat patties and cook an additional 20-25 minutes, or until bacon is crispy and vegetables are tender.  Serve with barbecue sauce.  Serves 4.
