Ground beef recipes ... something different

So, I inadvertently bought 1/2 a cow instead of 1/4 - LOL. Pasture-raised, lean, tasty ground beef is overflowing from my freezer! I gave some to my mom and sisters but I will be eating a lot of burgers still! I know Google is my friend but I just read an article with 50 ground beef recipes and I feel like they were all variations of meat/noodle/cheese.
So far I have stuck to burgers, meatballs (or meat in pasta sauce), tacos and the occasional lasagna. Looking for other ideas that aren't too calorie heavy and that are different!

I make cabbage roll casserole a lot. I don't have the patience for actual cabbage rolls and I can use less rice and more cabbage this way.7

I like picadillo, Korean beef and kheema. I also like to make chili, taco lettuce wraps and philly cheese stuffed spaghetti squash.

These look great - thank you!3 -
"Joe's Special"
Saute an onion in a large skillet
Add in 1 lb Ground Beef and brown
Mix in 1/2 lb cooked spinach (I use frozen) or whatever veggie you like
Mix in 6 - 8 beaten eggs and continue to turn the mixture in the pan till the eggs are set
Mix in 1/4 - 1/2 cup parmesan cheese (or sprinkle it on top of each serving)8 -
My Dad's signature dish growing up was "*kitten* on a Shingle" - basically browned ground beef, a bag of frozen mixed veg (the cheap one where everything is in cubes), once cooked, mix through enough water and instant gravy to make it the consistency of pie filling and eat it on toast or crackers. It's still one of my go-to no-time dinners, or comfort foods.8

Or put this^^^ on mashed potatoes!2

Wow, you brought me back to being about 10 years old. Used to have this a lot but it had left my memory!2 -
You can put it in lentil stew. I also make a dish, sauteing it with onions, garlic then adding shredded cabbage then adding chicken broth & cooking rice in it. I add cheese & sour cream when done. You can leave off the rice. and the Joe special is good too2

Dumplings, perogies and meat crepes are some of the very few ways I eat meat, so that's all I have to recommend other than the usual.3
-
baked samosas, patties, on pizza, ground beef biryani or kofta with rice2
-
Cook some ground beef and add it to steamed or roasted cauliflower, whatever spices you like (just salt and pepper is fine to me) and a sprinkle of cheese if that's your thing. I'm not doing low carb, but if you happen to be, someone once mentioned thst the dish is like a low carb hamburger helper.2

Cuban picadillo is always my family's request.1

I swear by these meatballs.

It is a bulk recipe so you can make a whole bunch at once and save yourself loads of time.

Tacos, stroganoff, meatballs, any type of casserole.2

Lettuce wraps (I do this with beef instead of chicken: http://damndelicious.net/2014/05/30/pf-changs-chicken-lettuce-wraps/2
