Equipment

  • 1 10-inch skillet non-stick or stainless
  • spatula
  • cutting board
  • knife
  • bowl

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef or ground meat of choice
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch pepper
  • 1 tablespoon neutral flavored oil
  • 1 medium or large Yukon gold potato cut into ½-inch cubes
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms sliced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon pepper seasoning more to taste

Instructions

  • In a 10-inch skillet, place your meat, break it up with a spatula, season with the salt and pepper, and cook on medium to medium high until browned or cooked through, 5-7 minutes.  If you are using stainless steel, it can help to add a little oil if you are cooking poultry.  Drain excess fat from the pan, leaving a little bit for the next step.  Remove the meat from the pan and set aside in a bowl.
  • Set the heat to medium.  If there’s no fat from the meat left in the pan, add the oil.  Add the potatoes to the pan and saute until they become just soft, not mushy, about 5 minutes. 
  • Add in the mushrooms and saute for 3-4 minutes.  They should still be slightly firm, keep an eye on them to make sure they don’t start to wilt or get mushy.
  • Add the meat back in and stir to combine ingredients.
  • Add in the lemon pepper seasoning and stir to combine, continue to cook on medium heat for another 1-2 minutes.
  • Taste and add additional seasoning or salt and pepper as desired.
  • Divide into portions and serve immediately, or store in the fridge in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
