Silas is not a fish guy. He says this loudly, usually right before he eats every bite on his plate and asks if there’s more.

Sweet Potato Ground Beef Skillet: I didn’t expect a skillet full of sweet potatoes and ground beef to become one of my most requested recipes. But here we are. It’s one pan. It’s about 30 minutes.

Silas started calling it “assembly line dinner” and honestly, he wasn’t wrong. So I did what any slightly bored home cook does. I smashed two of my favorite dinners … Read more
