Lupin Free Beef and Butternut Squash Hash
Savory, warming, and packed with color, this skillet hash brings together caramelized butternut squash, well-seasoned ground beef, and fragrant garlic in a way that feels both hearty and surprisingly bright. The coconut oil gives everything a subtle richness, while a splash of apple cider vinegar at the end lifts all those deep, roasted flavors and keeps the dish from feeling heavy. Turmeric and ginger add a gentle warmth that makes this taste far more complex than the ingredient list might suggest. Lupin flour and lupin-based fillers have quietly crept into a lot of packaged seasonings and processed meats, so cooking from scratch with whole, recognizable ingredients like these is genuinely the safest and most satisfying route. Every component here is straightforward and easy to verify, so you can cook with confidence and zero guesswork. Toss in the optional baby spinach at the end for a pop of green and a little extra nutrition, or keep it simple — either way, this is the kind of one-pan dinner that earns a permanent spot in the weekly rotation.

4 servings
- 1 lb ground beef (85% lean)
- 3 cups butternut squash, cut into ½-inch cubes
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp coconut oil, divided
- ½ tsp ground turmeric
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
- ½ tsp fine sea salt, plus more to taste
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, roughly chopped
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- 2 cups baby spinach (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Heat 1 tbsp of the coconut oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the butternut squash cubes in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 4 minutes, until the undersides are golden brown. Stir and continue cooking for another 4–5 minutes, until the squash is tender when pierced with a fork and caramelized on most sides. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tbsp coconut oil to the same skillet. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5–6 minutes, until softened and translucent.
