I could eat this Jamaican Beef Patty Skillet every week and never get tired of it. The recipe is SO easy, flavorful, inexpensive, and perfect for a weeknight meal. A few years ago I made these Jamaican beef patties from April’s blog Whisk it Real Gud for a football game. They were amazing. I had really been craving them. However, since I watch my carb intake most days the flakey pastry wasn’t going to work out for me. I improvised and did my own spin on the recipe. Using the same flavors but adjusting the ingredients to fit my lifestyle. Boy am I happy I did. Now I can enjoy these flavors whenever I want and not have to worry about taking an extra scoop or two! April, I will always be thankful for this recipe, it is one of my favorites.

I like to serve this with another splash of scotch bonnet hot sauce and some sour cream to cool it off. This dish can be as mild or spicy as you like. We love spicy food. But since we made this for the kids too I took out the seeds of the peppers and made it hotter with the hot sauce to taste. I made the kids a side of traditional rice and mixed it with a few scoops of the beef mix.

Jamaican Beef Patty Skillet Recipe Tips

Scotch bonnets can be hard to find in my area, they are VERY hot and a little bit fruity. Hands down my favorite hot pepper. I grow them in the summer. If I make this during the winter I will probably have to use the more common habanero pepper, or just use hot sauce instead.
This World Market curry powder is the one I use
I love Trader Joes frozen organic cauliflower rice, if you do not have one near you I have also seen it at the regular grocery as well as Aldi. Worst case, just buy a head of cauliflower and take it to a box grater.
