Simple skillet meals with bold flavor.

I don’t know if you agree, but I think a quick and delicious skillet dish is something I should have. Picadillo is an excellent option when you want a simple meal that will satisfy your hunger. This is a basic ground beef hash. You can serve it with rice or tortillas, but it’s also very filling. Although it takes only 30 minutes to make, the best part about this dish is the bold, comforting flavor it produces from a single skillet.
