You will never miss the meat in this Vegetable Country Skillet. Packed with flavor and protein from mushrooms, eggs and cheese, it makes a delicious Meatless Meal for Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner. And perfect to serve for Lent.
Trying to find a meatless recipe that is satisfying, especially for my house full of men is a challenge. We really aren’t fish lovers, although a few of us do like shrimp. With Lent upon us, this One Dish Dinner would be perfect served for Lent or even on Meatless Monday.
While our family are Christians, we have never really followed the Lent traditions of giving up meat. During Lent, many commit to giving up meat consumption, fasting or giving up luxuries.
Serving breakfast for dinner is a favorite around here. I always add it to our Monthly Menu at least twice a month. When I serve a big breakfast, whether it’s in the morning or at dinner time, I often look for dishes that don’t take a lot of time but are filling. It can take quite awhile to cook bacon, pancakes, eggs, toast and fruit.
This Country Skillet is also very budget-friendly, I bought all the ingredients at Walmart, and served the whole family for around $4.
The Vegetable Country Skillet was very filling and was on the table in under 30 minutes using only 1 pan. Now, if you must add meat, you could certainly fry up some bacon or sausage and add it. But honestly, I don’t think you will miss it. Or you could also change the vegetables if there is one of the ingredients that your family does not like.
