A hearty and flavorful one-pan meal featuring seasoned ground beef, tender spinach, and creamy feta cheese, perfect for weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground Beef (ensure it’s halal)
- 4 cups Fresh Spinach
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1/4 cup Feta Cheese, crumbled
- Optional: Freshly Ground Black Pepper for serving
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Wait until it shimmers to know it’s ready.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they become soft and translucent.
- Stir in the minced garlic and let it cook for another 30 seconds.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Cook until it’s browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon—about 5-7 minutes.
- Sprinkle in the paprika, salt, and black pepper, stirring to mix well.
- Toss in the spinach, folding it into the beef mixture. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts down.
- Remove the skillet from heat and fold in the crumbled feta cheese.
- Serve the Ground Beef & Spinach Skillet warm, and add freshly ground black pepper if desired.
Notes
Consider using halal ground turkey or chicken for a different flavor profile. Make sure to let the spinach wilt nicely for added depth of flavor. Feel free to add additional spices like cumin or oregano for personalization. For pre-prep, chop onions and garlic in advance.
