We've been making a skillet meal we call "old man food".

Brown a pound of ground beef and onions in a skillet. Add a couple cups of beef broth (we use a stock concentrate & water) and whatever herbs/spices are appealing (tonight was thyme and dried mustard and dried roasted garlic). Add a generous pour of frozen baby lima beans (half a bag tonight). Sometimes we use fresh corn. Tonight I used a diced potato (yukon, but larger than usual) and leftover brown rice (about a half cup, maybe). Sometimes we add chipotle tabasco. Sometimes not.

When the limas are cooked, you can toss in some diced summer squash and cook for a few minutes. Or just stir in a cornstarch slurry and let it thicken. Salt, pepper.

Eat. Add cheese or sour cream or not. Mayo would be nice if I could have eggs.

Simple and satisfying.
