Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Protein

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 4 slices turkey bacon, chopped

Seasonings and Oils

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried herbs (such as thyme or oregano)

Serving Suggestion

  • Cooked rice or mashed potatoes (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil: Warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat to prepare for cooking the bacon and beef.
  2. Cook turkey bacon: Add the chopped turkey bacon to the skillet and sauté it until it becomes crispy and releases its flavors.
  3. Add garlic and ground beef: Stir in the minced garlic, then add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook the beef until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon to ensure even cooking.
  4. Season the mixture: Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, dried herbs, and pour in the apple vinegar. Stir the ingredients well to combine all the flavors.
  5. Simmer: Allow the mixture to cook and simmer for a few more minutes so the flavors meld together and the vinegar reduces slightly.
  6. Serve: Dish out the skillet mixture over fluffy cooked rice or creamy mashed potatoes for a complete and comforting meal.

Notes

  • Use fresh herbs if available for enhanced flavor.
  • Adjust the vinegar quantity for tanginess according to your taste.
  • Ground beef can be substituted with ground turkey for a leaner option.
  • For a lower sodium version, reduce the amount of salt or use a salt substitute.
  • This skillet is versatile and pairs well with other sides, such as steamed vegetables or a green salad.
