1. Heat canola oil in a large ovenproof nonstick skil-
let or well seasoned and well greased cast iron
f rypan, over medium-high heat. Sprinkle ground
beef with half the salt and pepper and cook for
8 minutes, breaking into small chunks with back
of spoon, until meat is browned and completely
cooked. Drain and set aside on a plate until ready
to use.
2. In a medium sized bowl whisk together onion
powder, eggs, milk and remaining salt and
pepper.
3. Return beef to the nonstick skillet and stir in
onions and spinach. Cook until spinach wilts,
about 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes. Turn heat to low
and pour in egg mixture. As eggs set around edge
of skillet, using spatula, gently lift cooked portions
to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath. Cook
until bottom is set and top is almost set, about 5
minutes.
4. Sprinkle cheese over top and place skillet
under preheated broiler for 2 minutes to melt
cheese and puff up frittata, or cover with lid and
cook for a couple of minutes on stovetop. Loosen
around edge of frittata. Cut into wedges and serve
with a side of dill pickles, plus ketchup and
mustard for dipping.
Tip: If you have Big Batch Beef in the f reezer, use 2 1/2 cups of that instead of fresh ground beef to make
this recipe super speedy. See how to make Big Batch Beef on page 23.
