This ground beef skillet cooks up in about 30 minutes and requires just one pan! It's loaded with grass-fed ground beef, vegetables and a variety of spices all topped with cheddar cheese for a delicious and easy weeknight dinner.
Bring oven to a broil. In a 10 inch, oven-safe skillet (I used a 10 inch cast iron) heat oil over medium heat.
Add onion and sauté for 2-3 min, until it starts to become fragrant. Add garlic and sauté 1 more minute.
Add zucchini, bell pepper and ½ tsp salt and saute for 5-6 min until veggies have softened.
Add ground beef, chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, ½ tsp salt, pepper and cayenne, if using. Cook for 5-6 min, until beef is cooked through, breaking it up as it cooks.
Add the tamari and fire roasted tomatoes. Bring mixture to a simmer and cook for 5-6 minutes letting the sauce slightly reduce and thicken.
Top mixture with cheddar cheese and place it in oven to broil for 2-3 min, watching closely to make sure the cheese doesn’t burn.
Remove from oven, let cool for a few minutes. Serve over rice of choice and top with cilantro
