Not only is this skillet impossible to resist, but it’s also healthy, to boot.

One serving of this dish will give your kids the energy they need to nourish their bodies.

While it looks like you’ll have to put a lot of work and effort to make it, you won’t at all.

This recipe only needs 5 minutes of prep and 20 minutes of cooking.

2. Mexican Taco Breakfast Burrito 

Start your weekend with a bang! These breakfast burritos are a wonderful explosion of colors and flavors.

No food looks and tastes more festive than Tex-Mex food. Case in point: these burritos.

If a feast is what you want, a feast is what you’ll get with these scrumptious wraps.

They’re filled with ground beef, scrambled eggs, beans, tomatoes, avocado, and cheese.

These burritos are the ultimate breakfast of champions.

3. Tortang Giniling (Filipino Beef Omelet) 

Tortang giniling is a Filipino omelet filled with ground beef.

With this omelet, your tastebuds will be treated to beef patties that burst with wonderfully rich flavors.

One bite will make you fall in love with Filipino cuisine.

Aside from just ground beef, you can also throw in minced carrots and potatoes to the omelet mixture. 

From the color to the flavor & textural contrast, the veggies add significant zip to the dish.

Pair tortang giniling with fried rice for a hearty breakfast meal.

You can also serve this dish in buns or bread along with your favorite burger condiments. 

4. Cheesy Ground Beef Quesadillas 

Here’s another dish that features the phenomenal tandem of ground beef and melted cheese.

These two truly are a match made in heaven.

From the crisp flour tortillas to the savory and cheesy filling, these quesadillas are simply irresistible. 

Just those three components alone are mouthwatering enough.

Garnish them with sour cream, guacamole, and salsa, and they’ll be even more to die for.

Step aside, Taco Bell. These homemade quesadillas are much cheaper, tastier, and a breeze to make.

5. Ground Beef Potato Hash 

Ground beef and potatoes join forces to make one heck of a hearty and scrumptious breakfast dish.

This is a recipe that requires minimal effort but delivers maximum flavors.

It’s all thanks to the amazing flavor and texture combination between ground beef and potatoes.

To make the dish extra hearty, yummy, and nourishing, crack a few eggs on top at the last few minutes of cooking.

For a complete meal, serve the dish over a bed of lettuce.

6. Beef Breakfast Sausage 

While you can always get breakfast sausage from your local grocery store, it’s nowhere near as good as homemade.

This recipe makes juicy and overwhelmingly tasty patties that’ll surely make your morning.

Infused with tons of herbs and spices, these patties are 10 times more scrumptious than regular hamburgers.

As an added bonus, they’re a cinch to make.

All it takes is to mix ground beef with spices and herbs, form them into patties, and into the pan they go.

Serve them with eggs and/or burger buns and enjoy.

7. Healthy Skillet Breakfast Scramble 

This breakfast skillet is a happy mishmash of ground beef, vegetables, and cheese bound together by creamy scrambled eggs.

Complete with protein, carbs, fat, and veggies, this one-pan dish has all the nutrients your body needs to function at its best.

You won’t have to worry about what to serve with it because it’s a full meal on its own.

Don’t feel like you can’t eat it with bread or rice, though.

But more importantly, this scramble is super scrumptious! It’s rich, savory, creamy, and crunchy, all in one bite.

8. Easy Freezer Breakfast Sandwiches 

McDonald’s breakfast meals are such a treat, aren’t they?

I particularly enjoy their sausage and egg McMuffin. It’s meaty, cheesy, and super filling.

And with this recipe, you can make the popular sandwich at home!

All you need is ground beef, eggs, English muffins, and cheese.

The only real effort required is to make and cook the beef patties, but even that is a cakewalk. 

Make these for your kids once, and they’ll beg you to make them again and again.

9. Hamburger Hash 

Need to make breakfast in a rush? Look no further than this hamburger hash! In just 20 minutes, this dish is ready to be devoured.

This hash doesn’t just come together quickly, but it’s ridiculously appetizing, too.

What’s not to love? It features the ever-so-fantastic mix of ground beef and potatoes.

And I think we’ve already established how perfect these two are together.

The combo of carbs and protein makes this dish perfectly satisfying even on its own.

Feel free to enjoy it with rice or bread, though!

10. Cheeseburger Breakfast Casserole 

If you’re looking for a fun twist on the American classic, the search is over. This casserole is the winner!

It’s a cheeseburger in bar form, folks. How can you not want that?

These casserole bars are filled with ground beef, onions, and cheese. 

Binding them together is creamy scrambled eggs.

They do a fine job of rounding out the flavors and textures of the ingredients.
