Hamburger Skillet has become a go-to meal in our household. It’s a simple dinner filled with delicious flavors. Perfect for when you’re craving a burger but don’t have time to fire up the grill.

We started making Hamburger Skillet when my husband removed grains from his diet. Instead of our usual protein-style burgers with homemade patties, we opted for a deconstructed burger to make dinner quick and easy. We have no regrets!
