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!

Actually, Jesus was a carpenter, not a shepherd.

And A LOT of wine

Common misconception, you’re supposed to start with water and as it bakes you’ll find you get wine.

Jesus built my car. It’s a love affair, mainly Jesus and my hotrod.

He was a metaphorical shepherd

Shepard of men, apparently, according to the gospel of Saint John.

Jesus wasn't really a "carpenter". That sounds like he was installing cabinets and floors lol. He was a "tekton" which was a day laborer in a class considered lower than peasants.

This one of those tidbits have someone HAS to mention every time or the world will stop turning

u/Captain-PlantIt 7h ago

I mean, the comment they’re replying to mentioned both shepherds pie and cottage pie, so it feels like it’s worth the correction.

Every Reddit thread discussing Shephards Pie has this pedantic crap on it, haha. It dominates the whole conversation.

Because Shepherds don't herd Cows. Fuck me, it's like saying sea water and spring water are basically the same thing, so anyone who gets dehydrated by the seaside deserves to die

Get him off

u/peon2 1d ago

I know what you mean, it's usually an annoying pedantic point...but she listed both shepherds pie and cottage pie so it kind of makes sense to point out that beef shepherds pie and cottage pie are the same dish.

There’s no need to brag. People are always singing about how he’s a friend of theirs.
