Cheesy Beef Bake ****

 

1lb ground beef 

1 egg 

8 oz (or less) ricotta

3 Tbsp butter

Parmesan, freshly grated

Mozzarella, grated or sliced

Garlic Granules

Oregano

Real Salt

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

In a large, cold cast iron skillet, combine ground beef and egg.  Stir together until well mixed.  You want the egg fully incorporated with the beef so that it can't be seen after it's cooked.  

Turn on burner to medium.  Season the beef and egg mixture with garlic, oregano, and salt.  Cook, stirring, until beef is cooked through.  Strain excess grease, if necessary.  

Turn off burger, add butter and stir until melted.  Add as much ricotta as you'd like, a little at a time.

Spread out evenly in the pan, then grate parmesan over top, followed by mozzarella.

Bake until cheese is melted, 10-15 minutes.  Let sit before serving.
