Easy ground beef dinners that are quick, budget friendly and loved by the whole family, most ready in about 30 minutes.
A pound of ground beef is one of the most useful things you can keep in the fridge or freezer. It cooks fast, takes on any flavor, and turns into everything from tacos to pasta to comforting casseroles. These recipes keep things simple with one skillet or one pot whenever possible.
You’ll find tacos and burrito bowls, sloppy joes, cheeseburger pasta, meatballs, stuffed peppers, shepherd’s pie, chili and Korean beef bowls. Each recipe explains which fat percentage works best and when to drain the pan, so your dinner is rich and flavorful but never greasy.
Tip: brown the beef in a hot pan without stirring for the first couple of minutes to get more color and flavor. Cook ground beef to 160°F. Every recipe lists calories, protein, carbs and fat per serving. For more weeknight favorites, see Pasta Dinners and 15-Minute Dinners.
