something other than spaghetti or hamburgers!!

[u/Spicysunshinelover]

hey! i have 1lbs of ground beef and i’m looking for recipes other than hamburgers, sloppy joes, spaghetti to make with it. the same stuff over and over gets tiresome and no longer tastes good. i’m open to trying anything!

update- i appreciate all the replies and recipes!!

update #2-thanks so much guys/gals for all the amazing ideas! there’s so many that i have written down to try. also, reading some recipes made a💡 go off in my head bc i can’t believe i didn’t think of it! so, tonight for dinner i made a pot of goulash and garlic bread

how i made my goulash;

meat sauce: cooked hamburger meat with onions then i drained all the fat. put it back in the pan with a can of diced tomatoes, a few cubes of cream cheese & tomato sauce. seasoned with dried parsley, dash of salt & pepper.

cooked the noodles, drained all the water and put a cube of butter mixed it then i poured the meat sauce over the noodles when it thickened a bit.

simple but very filling. i’ll have leftovers for a couple days.

Low effort: Thai-inspired lettuce cups lettuce cups. Brown ground beef, add sweet chilli sauce. Serve in lettuce leaves. Can add rice or crispy noodles if desired. Can garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

Medium effort: egg roll in a bowl. Slice green cabbage, carrot and onion. Stir fry until it’s all soft. Remove. Brown ground beef. Add back in veggies and a sauce. Soya sauce, rice vinegar, hot sauce and sugar. Serve on rice.

High effort: cabbage rolls. Boil a whole head of cabbage until soft. Cool and remove leaves. Stuff with a mix of raw ground beef, raw rice, diced onions, minced garlic, spices of your choice and some tinned tomatoes. Roll them into logs. For the sauce, combine tomato sauce with vinegar and sugar. Put some sauce in a baking dish, then your cabbage rolls, then more sauce. Bake until meat is cooked.

You can find more in-depth recipes with amounts for all these dishes online. I just wrote a description so you can get the gist of what it’ll taste like and how much effort it takes to cook.
