About

What's better? Waking up to a fresh blanket of snow in the city or the sun rising over the grassy hills in the countryside? Both have a special place in our heart, but when we have everything we need to make this Countryside Skillet, waking up in the midst of the warm and sunny peace and quiet is one of our favorite things to experience. This skillet of tender potatoes is just a dream come true. It's hearty thanks to the meaty ground beef and it's gooey thanks to the melty cheese, all with bits of savory goodness mixed in. We think you'll love our Countryside Skillet, no matter where you wake up!
