Ooooh just noticed you have a toddler too, I'd imagine you could leave the chilies out of his portion, but it is super yummy, and not bad on calories.

bump - I buy ground beef all the time, it is cheap. I can't wait to hear some healthy recipes.

This is one of my favorite ground beef dishes that is easy to eat as leftovers too

"Mexican Stir fry"

1 pound ground beef
2 cups cooked brown rice
1 Taco seasoning packet ( I recommend McCormicks b/c it doesn't have MSG and you can get low sodium too!)
1 medium sized onion
1 can of stewed Mexican recipe tomatoes
2 or 3 of your favorite veggies (I recommend red bell pepper, yellow squash, perhaps some zucchini)

Prepare the brown rice ahead of time. Brown the meat and onions, then add the taco seasoning and appropriate amount of water. Then stir in the stewed tomatoes, and chopped veggies. Once the veggies seem cooked to your liking, stir in the rice and let simmer for approx 5 mins for flavors to cook into the rice a little bit. You may add additional spices of your own to taste :happy:

I usually eat this as a whole meal, and if you like you can eat it with a dollop of sour cream or fresh guacamole.

I created this dish because I LOVE mexican food, but needed a healthier way (than burritos and tacos) to get the flavor in at home. This way you get a great source of protein, whole grains, and veggies, all in one dish you can easily reheat on the stove top in five minutes the next day. Squash and Zucchini are both excellent in Mexican dishes because they soak up the flavor, and by adding red, yellow, and green veggies it makes it look more exciting as well!

pasta with ground meat.. brown the ground beef with chopped onion (no oil), add adobo, ketchup squeeze a good amount and add a jar of ragu chunky garden vegtable sauce, lower and simmer for 20 minutes mix with pasta...takes 30 minutes and its delish!!!

< Bump > All of these sound terrific!

oooh all of these sound awesome! I always am at a loss for something diffrent to make with ground beef.

Enchiladas!! Just use corn tortillas and fill it with ground beef, frozen peppers & onions. Separately, mix together some pace picante sauce and some cream of chicken soup in a pot and heat it 'til it's hot and the consistency is how you want it (ratio is to taste)... then drizzle that on top of the enchiladas. Bake for 20 minutes on 350. Not too many calories and seriously, the mixture for on top TASTES cheesy even though it isn't. Yum. These are even better with chicken.

Hi I am going to try this recipe thanks

Love mexcian food !!! Gona try this one

My suggestion is not so much a recipe as a last minute "crap, I forgot to pull something out of the freezer. GB thaws in the microwave well" kind of meal.

I brown the meat and pour off the excess fat. Fry up some garlic and onion, add the meat back in with a few tsp of worchestershire sauce and a TB of balsamic vinegar. I then add dill (fresh, if you have it). My husband hates dill, but I threw it in there and it just made it come alive and now he won't eat the meal without. I make some frozen peas, carrots and corn and defrost then throw it in. I also cook up some brown rice (minute rice) and once it's all cooked, I throw it together. It's not terribly "moist" as there is no sauce, but you could add some gravy to it....Mmmmmm And it freezes well and I cook lots of it so we have lunches for a while. We call it beef mush (we also have a breakfast mush and a apple mush - growing up, mush was just a bunch of stuff thrown into a pan).

If you go to www.goodtoknow.co.uk you will find loads fo recipes and lots of videos .

One of our family favorites (although we use ground turkey):

ground meat
1 can of Rotel (any spice you like)
About 1 tbsp. of Mrs. Dash Savory seasoning
sprinkle of garlic and pepper

Cook meat throughly. Drain some of the juice from the Rotel and mix about 1/2 tsp of cornstarch with the reserved juice. Mix it till it thickens. Add reserved juice and can of Rotel to meat and cook it through. Your sauce will thicken. Shred up some lettuce (we use Romaine, has more nutrients than iceberg). We take a small flour tortilla (Azteca soft taco flour tortillas are 150 cals for 2) and spread the meat mixture across the center and then top that with fat free cheddar, lettuce, green bell peppers, fat free sour cream (or plain yogurt) and finely diced onions and then roll it up and enjoy! If you want to cut the carbs, omit the tortilla and have a salad instead. Super easy and super quick!

Bump!

Mustard Burgers

Brown and crumble ground beef in skillet, drain off fat. To that add dried minced onion and yellow mustard. Mix and heat through. Serve on hamburger bun. Easy and yummy. Sorta like a mustard sloppy joe.You can serve a side of tater tots, or green beans and applesauce for the kids.

TACOS brown the meat and add lettuce, cheese, whatever you like to it. I prefer soft tocos and tend to buy wheat tortillas. Hmm.. think i need to pick up some meat, tacos sound yummy for dinner :laugh:

Oh, mac and cheese with ground beef...mmm

Now I'm hungry lol
