Kheema (Freezer-to-Pan One-Step) — 💛 I Just Can’t Even version

What to expect

This will smell like it should have a pretty photo… but remember: this isn’t “correct” food; this is give-yourself-grace food 🙂

What to do

Dump EVERYTHING from your grocery pick-up or delivery into a big pot or deep pan:

• 2 lb ground meat (beef/lamb/turkey/chicken)
• 1 container diced onions
• 1 container pico de gallo
• 3 ginger cubes (3 tsp) (straight from freezer)
• 3 garlic cubes (3 tsp) (straight from freezer)
• ½ bag steak fries or your choice of frozen potato (straight from freezer)
• ½ bag frozen mixed vegetables (straight from freezer)
• 2 Tbsp oil
• 2 tsp salt

Spices (dump in too):

• 2 Tbsp coriander powder
• 1 Tbsp cumin powder
• 1 Tbsp black pepper
• ½ tsp turmeric
• ½ tsp cardamom powder
• 1 pinch clove powder

Cook:

1. Heat medium-high, cover 8 minutes
2. Uncover, stir / break up meat
3. Cook uncovered 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until:
   • meat is browned
   • potatoes are tender

Optional: cilantro on top.

I see you. You matter. I care. Just keep going. 💛
