One-Pot Salsa Beef Skillet

No matter how much I plan ahead, I always seem to have an occasional night where I'm rushed to get dinner on for whatever reason. This one was perfect for one of "those nights"--even faster than the taco macaroni I recently posted. Give this one a try on a busy night!

Lyd Tips: I like to pre-brown a big batch of hamburger or turkey-burger with a bit of salt and pepper and sometimes a diced onion, then I put them in individual bags and freeze them for "just such a night". It totally speeds up the process, because all I have to do is microwave or warm it up on the stove top and dinner is done in a matter of minutes! (Saves me a good 15 minutes!)
