Ingredients
<\/strong>2 pounds ground beef (80\/20 works well)
1 packet (1 ounce) dry onion soup mix or taco seasoning
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup diced tomatoes or pickles, for serving<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salt, black pepper, and a little oil for the skillet are considered free pantry staples. Optional: lettuce, avocado, bacon, or a drizzle of burger sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Directions
<\/strong>Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with a little oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add the ground beef and cook until browned and crumbled, about 7 to 8 minutes. Drain off excess grease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add 1\/4 cup water and the taco seasoning or dry onion soup mix. Cook for three to four minutes, or until the beef is well covered with sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the skillet, arrange the beef in a uniform layer. Over the top, scatter the grated cheddar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cook over low heat for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling, with a cover on the skillet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sprinkle the chopped pickles or tomatoes on top and take off the heat. If desired, garnish with lettuce, avocado, or bacon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serve immediately from the skillet, hot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternative Forms
Skillet Bacon Cheeseburger: Before melting the cheese, drizzle some crumbled, cooked bacon on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swiss Skillet with mushrooms: Use Swiss cheese and saut\u00e9ed mushrooms with the beef.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spice Skillet: Add diced jalape\u00f1os or red pepper flakes to the pepper jack cheese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breakfast Skillet: Instead of tomatoes, top with fried eggs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expert Advice: Taco Skillet: Serve with salsa, sour cream, and avocado. Use taco spice.
Ground beef with an 80\/20 ratio should be used. The beef is kept juicy and delicious by the fat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure the grease is drained thoroughly so the cheese melts smoothly instead of collecting in a pool of oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the cheese is melting, cover the skillet. It melts consistently due to the heat that has been contained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remove the heat and add fresh toppings to keep them crunchy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serve right away, when the beef is hot and the cheese is gooey.<\/p>\n\n\n
