Hello!

I'm a novice at cooking (obviously) but I enjoy doing it and hope to
learn more. In the meantime, I have a pretty basic question about an
extremely simple meal.

When I make burritos, I like to brown the ground beef in a pan with
diced new potatoes and chopped onions. I throw these all in the pan at
once and fry it until the meat is done. The problem is that this stuff
just BARELY fits in my skillet (which I've measure to be 1.5q in size).

Is there any reason why I can't do this in a 2 or 3 quart sauce pan?
As long as I keep stirring, and as long as the beef, potatoes and
onions 'boil' in their own juices, it should cook thoroughly and
eliminate any potential bacterial problems, right?

Thanks
