Ground Beef and Eggs Recipe [Whole30]
Description
The Ground Beef and Eggs Recipe combines pre-cooked and seasoned lean ground beef with eggs and salsa for a simple, hearty meal. Eggs are whisked with salsa and salt, then cooked together with the ground beef in a pan either stirred into a scramble or left sunny-side up according to preference. The dish offers savory notes from the salsa and a balanced texture from the tender beef and fluffy eggs.
This recipe suits breakfast, brunch, or a quick protein-focused meal at any time. Serving with additional salsa on top adds brightness. It’s easy to customize seasoning to taste prior to cooking.
Leftovers store well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Using a cast-iron skillet and cooking fats like tallow or avocado spray may help prevent sticking. For extra protein, adding extra egg whites is a suggested modification.
Ingredients
- 3 egg
- 1 cup ground beef Seasoned per preference
- 2 tablespoons salsa
- Pinch salt
- cooking spray non-stick
Instructions
- Grease a pan and add in the cooked beef, cooking over medium heat.
- Scramble the eggs, salsa, and salt together in a small bowl.

- Let it cook as is until the eggs are cooked through or move it around with a spatula to make more of a scramble and break it up (still ensuring the eggs are cooked through). Roughly 5-8 minutes.
Notes
- Use pre-cooked, seasoned lean ground beef to ensure proper timing and flavor; cook and season raw beef beforehand if needed.
- Cooks well in a cast-iron skillet; use fats like tallow or avocado spray to prevent sticking.
- Eggs can be scrambled into the beef or served sunny-side up on top with salsa for variation.
- Add extra egg whites to increase protein content.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
