* For a Mexican-inspired dish, add 1 cup of salsa to the skillet with the beef and top with shredded cheese and diced tortilla chips.
* To make individual servings, use small ramekins or mini cast-iron skillets.
* For a gluten-free option, replace the flour with 1/4 cup of cornstarch or arrowroot powder.
