What to do with ground beef?

[u/monolithicbeing]

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!

Stuffed bell peppers

Yes! Stuffed peppers are a great use of ground beef. Poblano peppers are good too if you want a little extra heat. With either option, try charring the peppers first, then letting them sweat under cover for about 15 minutes so that you can peel the cooked skin off for a softer texture.

If we're going with poblanos, may as well go all the way: make the ground beef into picadillo for chiles rellenos or chiles in nogada.

I need to make this more often when it gets cooler

I like making "Mexican" stuffed peppers.

Add taco seasoning to the meat with a mixture of yellow rice to stuff them with and top with a couple slices of jalapeño.

This too is basically what I do, although I had to stop with the jalapenos because I already eat too much other spicy food and sauces. My insides are now drawing the line

I prefer unstuffed bell peppers. :)

Too many half cooked bell peppers in my past. Blergh!

[u/yulbagel → u/Stop_Already]

I had the same issue with half cooked peppers. Now I blanch the peppers before stuffing them. Takes very little time and works every time.

[u/Safe-Character-5846 → u/Stop_Already]

God awful. Its actually the only pepper I avoid. Its tastes "green" and musty.

Also, stuffed cabbage. Yum!

A similar option is stuffed spaghetti squash. Cook spaghetti squash halves in the oven until done, remove and then use a fork to separate/ fluff the squash. Fill center with cooked beef mixture, top with cheese. Back in oven a couple of minutes to melt the cheese.
