    15 Cast-Iron Skillet Recipes

    Recipes

    Hello, hello! Did you hear? It’s my e-book’s birthday! This day last year I released Easy Eats cookbook and meal plan to the world. For just $10 you can get 42 original recipes and a full three-month meal plan to match. It was a passion project of mine, and still something I’m very proud of. So as a little birthday present, I’ve decided to give away a free copy of the book, as well as a free cast-iron skillet on my Instagram! So if you would like to win a free skillet and a copy of my book, head on over to my Instagram now. I’ll be keeping the contest open until June 14 at 11:59 p.m. EST.

    cast iron skillet recipes

    If you haven’t already noticed, I cook a lot with my cast-iron skillet. It’s my go-to pan for almost every meal I make—unless I’m using my Dutch oven or Instant Pot, of course. So in my head, it made sense to give away the one cooking tool I rely on the most, especially since it’s used quite a bit in my cookbook.

    Because of that, I figured it would be fun to share with you some of my favorite cast-iron skillet recipes. In this round-up, you’ll find a list of breakfast (or brunch) recipes, as well as some of my favorite dinner recipes that I make in my cast-iron skillet. But honestly? You could make these cast iron skillet recipes for any meal. No judgment here.


    I’ll keep adding to this list as time goes on, but for now, here’s a list of all of my cast iron skillet recipes on the blog. And if you missed the giveaway, don’t worry! You can snag your very own cast-iron skillet right here.
