    Taco salad? Meatballs? These recipes allow you to decide how much beef you'd like per meal.

    Meatballs in a tomato-based pasta sauce with lots of peppers, mushrooms & onions put over some spaghetti squash is a low calorie, filling meal. Just limit the number of meatballs to fit your calorie goal.

    Taco salad with lots of veggies and some kidney beans and a bit of beef topping is tasty and filling.

    I usually use ground turkey in my meatballs instead of beef, but the recipe works either way. I use 1 pound of ground meat, 1 egg, 1 cup finely crushed croutons (any flavor). Then I bake the meatballs and add them to whatever I am making. A current favorite is to make an orange sauce like you would get on Chinese food and to serve it over the meatballs and rice.

    I like making meatballs because it makes it really easy to do portion control for not just the original meal, but when I have them as leftovers.

    I make taco's, meatloaf, hamburger soup, etc. There are TONS of stuff you can do with beef. For tacos, instead of all beef, after cooking your beef, add about 1-1 1/2 c cooked brown rice, It's much more filling and stretches it. I know some who add black beans too. You can even make really lean hamburgers. I love beef. I find if I use lean beef and come up with other ways to cut the carbs out, it's not too heavy caloric wise. Example: If you make hamburgers or tacos, use lettuce leafs for the shell or bun. It works for me.
