Ingredients

Scale

Protein and Vegetables

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Seasonings and Oils

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Toppings and Garnish

  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat Olive Oil and Sauté Aromatics: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking for 3–4 minutes until they become soft and fragrant, creating a flavorful base.
  2. Cook the Ground Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook it thoroughly, breaking it apart as it browns for about 5–7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary to keep the dish from becoming greasy.
  3. Add Spinach and Seasonings: Stir in the chopped spinach, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Continue cooking for another 3–4 minutes until the spinach wilts and the flavors blend together beautifully.
  4. Add Feta Cheese: Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the mixture. Allow the feta to gently melt into the skillet for a creamy, tangy finish.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness. Serve the skillet warm, either as is for a low-carb option or alongside crusty bread to soak up the delicious juices.

Notes

  • For a leaner dish, opt for lean ground beef (90% lean or higher).
  • You can substitute fresh spinach with frozen spinach (thawed and drained) if fresh is not available.
  • Adjust the amount of feta cheese based on your preference for creaminess and saltiness.
  • Serve with rice, quinoa, or crusty bread for a more filling meal.
  • This skillet is perfect for meal prepping and reheats well in the microwave or on the stovetop.
