Moroccan Style Ground Beef and Kale Skillet Recipe

Prepare the butternut squash by cutting it into one-inch pieces, using about half of an average squash.

Prep the kale by removing the tough ribbing, either by cutting or ripping it off, then chop the kale into small pieces.

Add butter to a skillet and melt it.

Add the butternut squash to the skillet and cook until mostly cooked through.

Remove the butternut squash from the pan and add ground beef, breaking it up into small pieces with a spatula as it browns.

Once the ground beef is browned, add spices: salt, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, and brown sugar, and toss to coat.

Add water or stock to the pan to introduce some liquid, then return the butternut squash to the pan.

Add the chopped kale and stir everything to combine.

Cover the skillet with a lid and let it steam until the kale cooks down.

Serve the dish on top of rice or quinoa.
