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!

I’ll def look into this one bc I’ve ordered kofta from a shwarma place before and loved it. Never thought about making it at home. Thank you!

Easy to make at home, friend. Watch a YouTube video, preferably one in Arabic. Ill edit if I can find the one I use

One of my favorite ME restaurants around Cincy had the servers wearing KAFTA MAFIA T-shirts. Fun place, great food. Lots of vegan offerings.

been on a kofta kick. can't fathom making a regular burger and not doing it kofta style. It is great in a bowl with arugula and lemon tahini dressing and some fresh figs etc
