Beef and veggie frittata: recipe

Angela Horkan with the Wisconsin Beef Council joins FOX6 WakeUp to share her recipe for beef and veggie frittata. 

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 pound Ground Beef (93% lean or leaner)
• 4 small red-skinned new potatoes (about 6 ounces), cut into 6 wedges each
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 cup thinly sliced yellow onion
• 1 small zucchini, cut lengthwise in half, then crosswise into 1/4-inch thick slices
• 1 teaspoon salt, divided
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper, divided
• 6 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
• 3 tablespoons shredded Italian cheese blend
• 1/2 cup chopped tomato

COOKING:

Heat oven to 350°F. Combine potatoes and water in 10-inch nonstick ovenproof skillet; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 8 to 10 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Remove from skillet; keep warm. Pour off remaining water from skillet, if necessary.

Brown Ground Beef with onion in same skillet over medium heat 6 minutes, breaking beef up into 3/4-inch crumbles. Add zucchini. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until zucchini is just tender. Pour off drippings. Return potatoes to skillet. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; mix thoroughly.

Cook's Tip: Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed Ground Beef. Ground Beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160ºF. Color is not a reliable indicator of Ground Beef doneness.

Whisk eggs, basil and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in large bowl. Pour evenly over beef mixture. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake in 350°F oven about 18 to 20 minutes or until eggs are set.

Sprinkle frittata with tomato. Cut into 4 to 6 wedges.
