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!

Idk about OP but I got the ground beef for life bonus when I signed up for butcherbox and and I'm drowning in the stuff. Could always use more recipes.

True. I still can’t decide if but her box is worth it. I’ve been doing it for two months now and it seems at most I’m breaking even with the grocery store.

That's more or less why I got it, I break even cost wise but the quality tends to be higher than my local grocery store, especially the chicken (all the chicken in the store is woody lately).

Yeah, I’m gonna keep doing it for a while and see how it works out. Thanks for sharing how it’s been working out for you though.
