Recipe Tips
- Cast Iron Skillet
If you don't have a large cast iron skillet, you can instead use a large heavy ovenproof skillet. - Easy Cleanup
Place the skillet on a large baking sheet before placing it in oven to catch any meat mixture juices that might bubble over the side of the skillet. - Special Extra
