Veggie and Chorizo Skillet

Make this super festive Veggies and Chorizo Skillet for dinner tonight! It's loaded with fresh veggies, lots of flavor, and topped with CHEESE! You've got to try making this one-pan dish.

This Veggies and Chorizo Skillet is inspired by a recent breakfast we had during our ski trip.

On our way home from skiing in Killington, VT, Aldo and I stopped at Bob's Diner to have breakfast. I had a bacon-sausage-home fries breakfast skillet with 2 eggs on top, and it was THE. MOST. DELICIOUS. BREAKFAST. EVER.

The breakfast skillet was served in a small cast iron skillet with free coffee refills and genuine smiles from the server. I love it when small town places end up having amazing food.

Inspired by Bob's Skillet, I decided to make a similar dish at home, but just a tad healthier with all the vegetables added in and a lot less grease.

I used chorizo sausage which has a ton of flavor and added a few of my go-to veggies: mushrooms, bell peppers, and grape tomatoes. The whole thing is topped with some cheese and popped into the oven for a few minutes to melt the cheese and really maximize the flavors.

It was good. Good good good. This dish turned out so colorful - and festive!

We ate this veggie and chorizo skillet over quinoa. You can also serve this dish over rice, with pasta, or with a fried egg on top.

A runny fried egg would be amazing on this - you can also grab a piece of toast to dip into the yolk and to sop up all the juices.

I am pretty sure this will be my go-to dinner from now on when I don't feel like fussing with dinner. The whole thing took 25 minutes from start to finish, and it was super delicious.
