Towards the end of the week, usually on Thursdays, I begin looking through my fridge and pantry to pull out those food items that are close to going bad or partial leftovers that wont make for a full meal. I take stock of my options and more often than not, I create a skillet.
Watch me make it on my instagram channel @aimeesapron: https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/18050539966184210/
A skillet for me involves meat of some kind, veggies and a starch. Today, based on my options I made a kielbasa skillet with veggies and white rice. I can give the low-down on my version featured above, but remember you can make your own skillet at home using what you have leftover. Just keep this simple equation in mind: cooked meat + lots of fresh veggies + a starch like rice, pasta or potatoes = helluva good skillet dinner!
To make my Thursday night skillet:
Makes 4 servings
- A package of kielbasa sausage
- 6 mini bell peppers
- A bunch of fresh spinach
- Elote from the night before (see cheesesteak & elote in recipes)
- 1 cup cooked rice
- Parmesan cheese to taste
- Cut the kielbasa into bite size slices. Add to a nonstick skillet with 1 teaspoon of oil. I use avocado oil.
- While the sausage is browning, I cut the bell peppers up into little rings. I add those to the pan to brown.
- Once the sausage and bell peppers are browned, I add in the spinach to wilt and the rice to warm through and soak up all the meat juices.
- Next, I add in the elote and combine everything.
- Lastly, plate the skillet up and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese
