    I've bookmarked that. I have a reduced calorie crock pot meatloaf recipe I like. It would be good with the Asian seasonings instead of the savory seasonings I usually use. Thanks!

    Call me a weirdy but, I stumbled upon this recipe in a book I found at the thrift store. The recipe seemed strange because you stuff the meatballs with banana chunks. But they have become a regular made thing in my house. I found the recipe online, so I didn't have to type it out. They are yum. http://ifood.tv/burger/185166-banana-burger-wrapups

    Stuffed Pepper Soup (Cooking Light)

    1/2 pound ground round
    2 cups chopped green bell pepper
    1 cup chopped onion
    1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    1 (14-ounce) can less-sodium beef broth
    1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
    1 (10 3/4-ounce) can tomato soup, undiluted
    1 1/2 cups hot cooked white rice

    Heat a small Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add beef; cook 3 minutes or until browned, stirring to crumble. Add chopped green bell pepper and onion; cook 8 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Stir in black pepper, less-sodium beef broth, diced tomatoes, and tomato soup; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 45 minutes.
    Spoon 1/4 cup hot cooked white rice into each of 6 bowls; top with 1 cup soup.

    *Variations: for tomato soup I use Amy's or Progresso - Campbell's too sweet (IMO). I also like to add some basil. You can use brown rice. Red & green pepper combo is nice.

    Beef burritos with sour cream and cheddar cheese.

    There's no way you're real. Cut it out or get funnier.

    OP, I'm a big fan of massive pots of chili--it's a great way to hit your protein and fiber macros. Shepherd's pie and enchiladas are the two other common ways I cook it.

    I forgot about taco salad! Mostly because I usually use turkey when I do it (I think it tastes better than beef with taco seasoning).

    Zucchini boats. Cut zucchini lengthwise, hollow out the inside. Grill the zucchini, stuff with hot browned ground beef, sauce and mozzarella cheese. Throw back on the grill until the cheese is melted on top

    Meatballs of all kinds (Italian on sub buns, Swedish, sweet and sour), tacos, taco salad, Sheppard's pie, meatloaf, cabbage rolls, "homemade" hamburger helper, the list is endless! I work in a nonprofit group home so we get creative with ground beef/chicken/turkey because it is cost effective

    I've done this with sausage. I'll have to try this.

    Meatloaf and meatballs got mentions. I mix up a batch of hamburger with bread crumbs, onion, egg, and spices, and form a bunch in to meatballs that go straight in to the oven until browned. I put more in to disposable aluminum pans that go in the freezer to be made up as meatloaf. Super easy and done all in one sitting.

    Those meatballs get stolen right off the tray by hubby, and can be made up several different ways. With a rich brown sauce for Swiss meatballs, or in spaghetti sauce.

    KEEMA MATTAR - delicious and super filling!

    Heat oil with whole cumin, cardamom, and some clove. Brown a little, then add 1 onion chopped & ginger and garlic paste. Add 1 lb ground beef, brown it, add salt, turmeric (half a tsp), red chili, ground cumin (half a tsp), and coriander powder (half a tsp). Add 2 tbsp of plain yogurt, stir it in, taste and add 1 more tbsp if needed. Add frozen peas (1/4 cup), cook a bit. Then add 3/4 cup water and cook covered on low for like 15 min till the water is almost evaporated.

    I use ground beef probably at least 2 times a week. I either make burgers which are grilled. I am wondering are there any other ideas or recipes to make lunch or dinner with ground beef rather than just burgers.

    Chilli of course.

    Minced beef, fry in some chopped onions. teaspoon of cinnamon, teaspoon of cumin, pepper, salt and as many chilly's as you want to add.

    Fry them all up then add a tin of chopped tomatoes and some tomato puree.

    Simmer for 10 - 15 minutes.

    (kidney beans optional).

    Yep, taco salad is almost a weekly thing. It's my "lazy" meal for the family. If you like the beef broken up like Taco Bell, add a cup of water to the meat while cooking. Stir and break up the beef until you like the size or get tired of messing with it. Drain most of the liquid, add your spices, simmer until liquid is gone.

    This recipe for meatballs is in regular rotation at my house. I simmer them in the sauce (instead of baking/frying), but use a different recipe. I delete the milk/bread step and use 1:1 ratio of ground beef and ground pork. I strongly recommend using the pork and fresh parsley. The pasta can be more calories than I have, so I just ladle the sauce in a bowl on the food scale, weigh the meatballs and chow down!

    This meatloaf recipe is fantastic! I think adding sage to any meatloaf will improve it's flavor, though. I use cream instead of milk and use parmesan cheese instead of bread crumbs. I don't broil it, either...we can never wait that long. If you have a free-form loaf on the sheet pan, scatter root veggies around it and cook together. The onions and gravy noted, are optional.

    I don't do low-fat. I go for big flavors and portions that fit into my calorie goal, with lots of green veg. The recipes can be adapted to anyone's preferences, though.

    Save half a pound of ground beef for the next meal - freeze it and replace it with a cup of oats. Great flavour and texture, adds fiber and cuts fat!

    Medleys. Throw in whatever you want that can be cooked. Veggies, bacon, sauces, noodles (if you eat pasta), cheese....I love a good ground beef and egg medley with cheese. The fat from the ground beef is very flavorful!
