Beef & Spinach Risotto Skillet

Last year I did a product review of Lundberg Creamy Parmesan Risotto and I continue to use it as a quick and easy side dish but today I decided to use it as a base for a larger meal. This meal is very easy to put together and makes a great filling and nutrient filled dish.



Beef & Spinach Risotto Skillet: serves 4

1 Box Lundberg Creamy Parmesan Risotto
1lbs Ground Beef 93/7 Fat Content
1lbs Fresh Spinach
1tsp Olive Oil
1/4C Grated Parmesan

Prepare the Risotto per the instructions on the box (toasting the rice in 1tsp of Olive Oil, then adding water & spice mix and slowly cooking). While the risotto is cooking brown the beef with some salt and pepper, once browned drain the excess fat and place the beef to the side. In the same skillet that you browned the beef add the spinach with salt and pepper and a splash of water (literally a tablespoon or two is more than enough). Cover the skillet and let the spinach wilt - you may need to do this in 2-3 batches depending on the size of your pan. Once all the spinach is cooked move it to a colander and push out all excess liquid and place it with the beef.

Now the risotto should be done, beef and spinach cooked, so toss them all together, serve and top with the parmesan cheese and enjoy!
