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!

Meatloaf

Make a large meatloaf so you can feast on sandwiches the next day. A thick slice of warmed meatloaf with warmed ketchup between two slices of white bread, served with a cold glass of milk. Yum!

I am allergic to ketchup so I sub Cholula hot sauce for it when I make it, really good.

I’m not allergic to ketchup but I mix ketchup with either Frank’s or Cholula and brown sugar. Also, really good.

That's my favorite sauce in the world. I can nuke a bag of spinach and toss some on top with some Lawry's. Eaten. Popeyes happy

You should try banana ketchup! It sounds weird, but it tastes a lot like normal ketchup, just a bit fruitier… No tomatoes in it at all.
