Make
- Heat oven to 425F / 218C.
- While oven is heating, heat a 10.5” to 12” (26 cm to 30 cm) oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. (Note: skillet size is for 4 servings. If customizing, use a larger or smaller skillet, or you can transfer the cooked filling to a muffin tin and top it with the egg mixture before baking.)
- To heated skillet, add oil and then bell peppers. Saute until tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add ground beef. Saute beef, breaking it apart until cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Add seasoning mixture and white parts of green onions to beef and saute until spices are fragrant, ~2 minutes.
- Stir in olives, tomatoes, and green parts of green onions.
- Pour egg mixture over beef and vegetables. Add cheese and stir to combine.
- Transfer skillet to oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. (Frittata is done when eggs are set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.)
- Slice frittata. Serve with sour cream on top and salsa and chips on the side.

Everyone enjoyed it. Adding jalapeños and cilantro would make it 5 stars most likely.

I did not have green onions on hand. I substituted a mild organic white onion and fresh parsley. I cooked it 22 minutes in a cast iron skillet and that was too long. Hubby and I liked it though. I thought it needed a green side so I made a spinach, onion, and cucumber salad instead of the sweet potatoes.
0 HelpfulPretty tasty! Used ground turkey and upped the bell pepper in place of tomatoes. Left out the cheese since I'm dairy-free right now, but I think that would've kicked it up to 5 stars. I also think I baked it a little too long (20 min.). Served the olives on top to accommodate different olive preferences. :) Nice easy recipe.
0 HelpfulSo easy to prep and to throw together! I used ground turkey and definitely more cheese than was in the recipe. I also amped up the flavor/spice by adding sliced serrano and jalapeno peppers with the tomatoes.
