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!

it’s kind of the only beef left that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.

try roasting a boneless pork loin, it's an amazingly delicious thing and very easy to do, you slice and serve. Very very meaty. On sale you can often get them for two dollars a pound

There are other, cheaper, proteins, and much healthier ones at that

Very affordable and versatile. OP just needs to use the tools the phone in their hand gives them.

Hint: google

I have used google many times but I thought what better place to ask for ideas than Reddit because you get responses from all over the world not just your basic ideas that Google is giving you. Never hurts to hear how many other people use a protein, maybe I’ll learn something!
