Taco seasoning + ground beef + shredded cheese + onions + salsa + lettuce leaves = lettuce wraps/tacos. Dried ground beef + suet + misc dried fruits = ground beef pemmican. As others mentioned, ground beef + eggs + onions/peppers = ground beef omelette. Often times on a weekend, I will make a batch of 5lb's of ground beef (after draining fat of course) with the taco seasoning mentioned above, and use that through the week in misc things like omelettes, etc. Or freeze if I make too much and use later. I find the taco seasoning covers a lot of situations in what I eat, although it has corn flour (Masa) in it, for those that have to watch out for that. |

Kofte is a favorite. Usually made with lamb, or a mix of lamb and beef, but all beef would be fine. I can't find my recipe right now, but this one is pretty close. I don't know where you are in the world, but if grilling is an option, that's the best. Otherwise, they can be fried in a skillet, baked, or broiled. Treat them mostly like any other meatball--but since there is no panade of bread and milk in them, they won't be as tender if you overcook them! If you eat dairy, then by all means eat them with a tzaziki sauce! If you eat rice, they are great with a lemon rice pilaf. If you don't eat any of those things, they'd be great with whatever you like--I've eaten them with tomato sauce, something like a chimichurri, or just plain as they come off the grill, with whatever veggies you like. |

I love to make meatballs with lamb liver mixed in - just whizz about 500g of ground beef, plus a chopped up lambs liver together in the food processor. Then season according to the country's recipe you are following. If I am making Kofta curry I add cinnamon, cumin, coriander, ginger, tumeric, garlic, chili, salt, pepper and fistfuls of fresh parsley to the food processor liver mix while it's going. Be generous with your spices, like a heaping spoonful of each one. Drop spoonfuls of this meat mix into a simmering pan of fresh chopped tomatoes/onion/bone broth and spices. It will all come together in about 30 mins to make a gorgeous saucy meatball thing. Can do the above in an italian or spanishy style too. |

I cheat. My grocery store has been carrying the little Spicely boxes of organic spice mixes. Each packet is usually good for seasoning about 2 lbs of ground meat which I can then divide up into 4 to 6 servings. Edit: Completely forgot one of my favorites, traditionally with pork, but easily adaptable to chicken, beef, or even minced fish: Larb (national dish of Laos): ground meat, cooked up, flavored with fish sauce, lime juice, diced chiles, and chopped mint. Usually served chilled on lettuce leaves. |

Thai Beef Salad!!! I eat it 2-3 times a week. Coconut Oil (full flavored I tried Dr. Bronner's) Onions, Garlic, Chili flakes, Sea Salt (just throw it all in together and brown) Put beef on salad greens and top with avocado, cucumber, coconut flakes, basil or Thai Basil, Cilantro if you like it, and finish with a squeeze of lime. I swear my husband licks the plate. |

I use my ground beef as a tasty and sneaky way to get more liver into my diet. I either freeze the liver and then grate it into ground beef in a 1:2 ratio or I puree it before adding it if I don't have time to freeze it first (and it's easier on the hands!). I also add things like organic mustard, chili, turmeric, sea salt, and a little bit of coconut flour to bind it. It's quick, and easy and the liver makes the burgers really tender. I fry them in either bacon fat or coconut oil as they're pretty lean without the added fat. You can slice up some avocado, fry up some onions and mushrooms and you've got a great meal! |

Duplicate of this question. Also, I used to eat these Goya (Ground) Beef Potato Puffs that were awesome. I'm thinking of trying to replicate it. |

This isn't much of a recipe but lately I'm doing a lot of ground beef or lamb, with maybe some cumin or other spice, just browned and then wrapped in cold romaine leaves for lunch. Hot and meaty contrasting with cold and crunchy. Tonight I made a nice bolognese sauce with ground beef and pork, served over spaghetti squash. |

use your ground beef to make my hamburger soup. my kids loved it. start by combining organic chicken broth, depends on how much soup you want, for my family of five i used 3 cups, combine that with small cut potatoes, carrots, broccoli, green onions salt and pepper, let that boil until soft, mean while in a cast iron skillet cook your ground beef with garlic and onions to taste, when all is cooked combine and enjoy, i use ground beef in alot of my dinners so im always finding neat and diffrent ways to use it. i also make a great meatloaf and lettuce wraps, i would be glad to share recipes.ϋ |

i tend to keep it simple. some coconut oil, a couple of red onions cooked until there just about transparent, add about 2.3 lbs of chopped meat. usually an 85/15 or 80/20 split (fat is flavor!). for spices i add some ground black pepper, onion salt, garlic powder, and a dash of chili powder. Seems to work pretty good. I usually top it to some sweet potatoes and cinammon after a workout or just eat it tossed with some steamed veggies. Here's a question...is it ok to cook up say, a WHOLE package of bacon, then use the bacon grease to cook up the onions and the beef?...and yes, the bacon would then be added to the beef afterward. |

I've been cooking up ground beef lately with a bit of onion in coconut oil (this is one of the only times I really like coconut oil!)- in a hot cast iron pan, hot enough to caramelize the beef a bit - with plenty of coconut aminos, a heavy hand with some good fish sauce, and a hefty squirt of sriracha or other chili paste. If I have lime or lemon, maybe a squeeze of that at the end. I always splash on some more coconut aminos after I take it off the heat - it seems brighter that way. I think what I really like about the coconut aminos is the natural sweetness- it's kind of reminiscent of Vietnamese food with the heat and sweet and salt. And then I let it cool for a couple minutes and then dump it on salad. Good stuff! |
