Gluten Free "Fricassee"

I make this one pan meal when I'm stumped as to what to make for supper or too tired to cook something that requires much effort. This is something that my mom made on occasion when she was in a supper rush or looking for something easy to throw together at the end of a long day. The "recipe" came from her mother, who called it "Fricassee". Easy and comforting with the addition of savory, I'm happy to share this family recipe with you.

Fricassee
  • Ground Beef
  • Potatoes, cubed (2 two three)
  • Onion (large to medium), chopped
  • Peas, frozen
  • Savory (1/2tsp to 1tsp- depends on how much ground beef used, you can always add more if needed)
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Water (1/2 to 1cup depending on amt of beef and potatoes used)
  • Oil (olive or canola)  
Method:
Heat oil in skillet and cook onions until translucent. Add ground beef and brown. Season with salt, pepper and savory to taste. Add potatoes and water, simmering partially uncovered, stirring occasionally. Cook until potatoes are nearly cooked through, then add peas for the remaining few minutes. Serve when peas are bright green and cooked through (about 5 minutes).
