ALDI Ground Beef and Pear Skillet with Roasted Apples

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Fresh 96/4 Ground Beef
• 1 package Washington Organic Pears (2 lb)
• 3 Washington Granny Smith Apples
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss apple halves with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown ground beef with diced onion, breaking beef apart as it cooks, about 6 minutes. Drain excess fat.
3. Add diced pears, balsamic vinegar, thyme, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Simmer for 8–10 minutes until pears soften slightly and flavors meld.
4. Plate beef and pear mixture, arrange roasted apples alongside, and serve warm.
