Like ground beef? Check out some of these ground beef recipes that you can make today!
Ground beef is pretty much a staple in most households. It’s easy to cook with, freezes well, and is easily found.
I find that ground beef recipes are so versatile. There is nothing like a hot chili on a cold, indoor-type day, and spicy tacos are perfect for those hot, outdoor-type days.
Dinner is always a problem in my house. After all, it comes every single day, and the little (and big) people in my house need to be fed. Every. Single. Day.
I am always looking for new and exciting recipes to serve so that they and I don’t get bored. Whenever I find something that we like, I try to make extra and put it in the freezer for those days when I just can’t cook, like when I had a hard day at work, or the baby was up all night. Having food available saves us from wracking up a take-out bill and helps keep our food costs down.
