What Makes This Recipe So Good

  • This Ground Beef and Eggs recipe is seasoned simply with garlic, salt and pepper, making it the perfect base around which you can build your meal!
  • It’s paleo-friendly and suitable for your Whole30 (as long as you use plain beef), helping you keep to your healthy eating resolutions without compromising on flavour.

Chef’s Tips

  • While this beef and egg skillet is delicious by itself, you can always add a little extra color and flavor by topping it with a sprinkling of chopped parsley or snipped chives, or some sliced green onion!
  • Extra ingredients can really change up the flavors. If you plan to serve this with Asian-inspired sides, you can add a few shakes of soy or oyster sauce (or paleo / Whole30 alternatives). Or, you can add a few spoonfuls of your favorite spice blend to take it in a totally different direction – this Whole30 compliant taco seasoning would make this a great filling for breakfast tacos, and a blend like Ras el Hanout would make this beef and egg mixture delicious served with flatbread, sliced tomato and plain yogurt.
