Ground Beef and Egg Skillet

Browned ground beef with eggs cracked straight into the pan. One skillet, fifteen minutes, done.

This is the weeknight fallback: brown a pound of beef, make some wells, crack in the eggs and cover the pan.

Servings

Brown the beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up, until no pink remains, 6 to 8 minutes. Season with salt.
Make 4 wells in the beef and crack an egg into each.
Cover the pan, lower the heat to medium and cook 3 to 4 minutes, until the whites are set.
Serve straight from the pan.

Leave the beef alone for the first two minutes so it browns instead of steaming.

Keeps 3 days in the fridge, though the eggs firm up on reheating.
