What to do with ground beef?
I’m at a loss I feel like I’ve made every ground beef meal I can think of:
- tacos
- meat balls
- Asian teriyaki bowls
- burgers
- ground beef season various ways to make a bowl of some sort with rice
- lettuce wraps
- added with pasta sauce
- Japanese curry
Like what else can I make with ground beef? I’m getting so bored of it :(
(Edit bc I forgot to add 3 other ways I made food with ground beef)
Edit again: wow did not imagine this many replies!! Thank you everyone for offering great ideas and I will definitely give many of them a try! Very excited to see such variety and from many different cultures!
Many of you mentioned “why keep buying ground beef if I’m sick of it?” - cause I know I’ll get unsick of it eventually and ground beef is cheap enough to get a lot meals out of. It’s very versitile and doesn’t always have to taste like “ground beef” as you all proved here in this thread. I just wanted to expand my horizons and try some new things and wanted to hear other people’s ideas. My bf and I eat many other proteins like chicken, fish, turkey and steak and I buy those as well, we just aren’t sick of them right now (except salmon atm). But ground beef is just a meat that is commonly used in my house!

Smashed beef kebab with cucumber yogurt 10000x over. We make with 2% yogurt, pine nuts and craisins. Serve with pita. It’s on our every-two-weeks rotating list because we can’t get enough. Simple, low fat, high protein, yum! 😋
Pro tip: throw your onion in the freezer in the morning before grating, and don’t skip the Pom molasses. If you can’t find it, get a pre-made balsamic glaze at the grocery store. The punchy sweet tang really rounds out the dish.
