I have been LOVING breakfast skillets.
Mornings can be hectic for most people and so having a meal that is easy to throw together and grab and go throughout the week can be a real time saver. I also just kind of feel like a champion when I only have to grab one container from the fridge in the morning and scoop it into a bowl and reheat. No fumbling around grabbing my leftover veggies, leftover protein, etc because it is ALL in my breakfast skillet. WINNING.
You can definitely use any type of ground meat in this recipe as it is very customizable.
In fact, I hope you do mix it up! Life is all about trying new things and so branching out in the food category is definitely something to strive for.
I hope this breakfast nourishes you and warms your soul.
