Ground beef ideas

Jennplus2

I have ground beef at home that I need to use in the next day or so and I would love to have some healthy dinner ideas that use ground beef. I am not a great cook so if you would keep it simple that would be great! :blushing:
I will be cooking for myself and two small kids.

Any ideas would be helpful...

I brown the ground beef and mix it with diced tomatoes and black beans. I serve it with basmati rice and put cheddar cheese on it. The kids love it.

I like meat loaf. The key is to drain away the fat so I bake mine on a small rack I put in the bottom of the loaf pan.

Add one small egg, one small can crushed pineapple (drained) and some onion flakes. Mix all together. Form into a loaf and put into a loaf pan on a sprayed with cooking with cooking spray (Spray the rack as well). Bake at about 350 - 365 (45 minutes or so) until temperature hits 160 degrees. If desired, brush very lightly with a bit of BBQ sauce. Let stand for a few minutes. Slice and serve.

You will not taste the pineapple, but it is a great way to add some fruit and fiber to your day.
