Need some new ideas for dinner with ground beef? These easy ground beef recipes below will surely fit the bill!
We love cooking with ground beef around here. It is a super easy protein that can be dressed up in SO many different ways. I usually order my ground beef from places online like Snake River Farms and Butcher Box — I get the best deals here and many times, I get extra packs of ground beef free when I order!
Some of my favorite meals that we have made are my delicious Mongolian Ground Beef Noodles recipe or my One Pan Cheeseburger Pasta recipe.
Both of these are super quick to make — 20 minutes or less and uses simple pantry ingredients.
I love to season my beef with my Paula Deen House Seasoning mix no matter what dish I am making.
Delicious and Easy Ground Beef Recipes You Can Make
As I said before, there are a lot of ways to dress up ground beef — from Mexican, Italian, Korean, Japanese and more.
I am always on the lookout for new recipes to make like this one for a Beefy Dorito Taco Salad. For a super easy dinner recipe with a Mexican flare, you can make this 15-minute Taco Dinner Skillet.
I have also used leftover taco meat to make fantastic Mason Jar Taco Salads for the next day at work.
For an Italian night at home, you might make a pan of this Baked Ziti which is SO DELICIOUS! Then if you are feeling adventurous, you can make a batch of my homemade meatballs.
For a crowd pleaser meal, my baked spaghetti is where it's at! Easy to make and so delicious and full of flavor.
If you are also pressed for time, you can let your slow cooker do the work and make this delicious slow cooker Lasagna pasta. If you have time and want to give it a try, I made a delicious lasagna with homemade noodles.
You can never go wrong with ground beef. It is simple and easy to transform into some of the best dishes around. You can dress it up for a classy meal, or serve a great comfort pasta dish. You can even stuff ground beef into pockets for the perfect empanada (working on that recipe as we speak)!
