Looking for ideas to make for dinner. I have a pound of extra lean ground beef (94/6) sitting at home thawing in the fridge. Looking for healthy dinner ideas that my super picky bf would like :) He doesn't eat any veggies but corn, and I can sneak in onions into whatever I make and he doesn't notice, but beyond that, not so much...

Any suggestions?

    Tacos. They're easy to customize. I'm picky too and just add taco seasoning and put it on a tortilla.

    Tacos

    You can have all the extra veggies you want to add to your portions and he can have whatever else he wants to add to his.

    I make the meat separate, put it and all the fixin's in different bowls on the table and everyone builds their own. I add fresh salsa, lettuce, tomatoes, onions and black olives to mine and even a small amount of shredded cheese... Kids add sour cream, to theirs. A couple flour or steamed corn tortilla shells and I'm stuffed .... and nobody else feels deprived by my 'diet'.

    lol, reading your post, i would have thought i wrote it!!!

    Try making hamburger hotdish with either whole grain macaroni noodles or regular.

    i make this all the time and it's only about 150 calories per cup...plus i have lots of extras for work!!

    Cook your noodles and beef

    Mixing with the noodles and beef, use a 12-14 oz can of tomoato sauce...and the rest of these ingredients are as you desire...

    diced onions (i do mine small so he can't complain), a can of corn, sugar to suit your taste, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt/pepper to your taste, a few swirls of ketchup on the top and mix it all together.

    It's super simple, and you can customize it however you want! I never use a recipe!

    tacos are one of the few things I love that I can get him to eat. :) So we have those at least once a week. I use any leftovers for taco salads for lunch the next day. The hamburger hotdish does sound tempting...He loves hamburger helper...(I think it's disgusting) so he'd prolly like it...

    ugh i really don't care for hamburger helper either, this has a very homeade taste to it.

    and none of those yucky preservatives...

    hope you figure out what to make:-)

    can't go wrong with spaghetti and meatballs! :) I have a recipe on my blog: http://happyheartrecipes.blogspot.com/ by husband *loves* it. I made it with chicken, but I'm sure it would taste great with beef!

    Well if he doesn't like veggies I'd say cut some up SUPER fine and make a meat loaf or tacos.

    If you don't want tacos make little sliders on wheat flat bread, or little burgers to put in wraps. <3
