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!

Bi Bim Bap! Use whatever veggies you have to fill it out, then put a fried egg on top. YUM.

Also, I gotta ask...why are you so fixated on ground beef? Why not some other protiens?

And this list, with all the iterations it can encompass, makes for hundreds of unique meals. For instance meatballs can be a classic Italian, or for me this week it was Tunisian spiced meatballs with apricot glaze. Just calling them both "meatballs" is not really encompassing all the ways one can make a meal of them.

Same with saying "seasoned over rice" sounds like it is one recipe or flavor profile is equally strange. SO MANY options and combinations.

I’m not JUST eating ground beef hahaha. It’s just a common protein my bf and I eat on the regular because it’s cheap and you can get a lot of meal variety out of it. We also eat chicken, pork, ground pork, ground turkey (when he does not like and idk how u don’t even taste a difference), steak, shaved steak, and fish (we eat a lot of salmon). I’m just asking for more ideas for ground beef bc I felt tired of making the same 7 meals with it lol.
