Equipment
- 1 Dutch Oven 5+ quart (Or a large cast iron skillet, see notes)
- 1 Large roasting pan or cookie sheet
- 1 Large glass bowl
Ingredients
For the filling
- 3-4 medium potatoes
- 1 can black beans rinsed
- 1 can corn rinsed and drained
- 2 7 oz cans green chilles
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 2 packets taco seasoning
- 5-7 cups vegetables Example, 2 zucchini, 2 cups cherry tomatoes, 8 oz package mushrooms, 1/2 head of cauliflower
For the Sourdough Crust
- 1.5 cups fed sourdough starter or you can use discard
- 3 eggs
- 3 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp oregano
- 1/4 tsp chilli powder
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1.5 cups grated cheese to sprinkle on top
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare & roast the veggies
- Preheat the oven to 400
- Peel & dice the potatoes, and chop all veggies into bite size pieces
- Add potatoes and vegetables to a large roasting pan or cookie sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper
- Roast the veggies for 30-45 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft. The veggies will roast while you prepare the rest of the dish. Stir half way through cooking time.
Step 2: Cook the beef
- Heat your dutch oven on medium heat on your stove top. Once it's hot, add a little bit of olive oil and the ground beef.
- Cook the beef until it is cooked through and no longer pink, breaking it up as it cooks.
- Add the taco seasoning and follow the instructions on the packet. Most of them have you add a little bit of water and simmer for a few minutes. Once it's done, set it aside.
Step 3: Mix the sourdough crust
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the sourdough crust ingredients (not the cheese, that will go on top!)
Step 4: Combine everything together
- In your dutch oven or skillet, add the beans, corn, and green chilles to the beef. Add the roasted veggies and potatoes, and stir everything together until combined.
Step 5: Add the sourdough crust, cheese, and bake
- Pour the sourdough crust mixture directly on top of the rest of the ingredients. Use a spoon to smooth it out if you need to, to make sure it's even.
- Sprinkle the grated cheese on top.
- Put the skillet dinner in the oven (it should still be preheated to 400). Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown, and the dough is cooked through. The skillet should be hot and bubbling at this point.
- Serve warm with fresh herbs, or hot pepper flakes if desired.
Notes
You can also use a large cast-iron skillet, but you may need to adjust the amount of vegetables and beef for the filling. You don’t want your sourdough skillet to overflow! Alternatively, you could cook the beef & veggies in a non-stick pan, and then transfer your southwest skillet to an oven safe baking dish, if you don’t have a dutch oven or cast iron skillet.
There’s no right exact combination here. All kinds of vegetables are delicious in this sourdough skillet recipe! Other ideas for veggies are chopped carrots, green beans, squash, or peppers.
