14 Easy Ground Beef Recipes for Dinner
With one pound or less of ground beef, you can easily make any of these 14 Easy Ground Beef Recipes for Dinner. These are delicious ideas that are ideal for weeknights and weekends during these busy holidays.
Food prices have been rising, but ground beef is one ingredient that’s not too costly and still very inexpensive and versatile to cook with.
Best of all, you can find packages of ground beef between $6.00 to $9.00 a pound.
A Great Tip: you can also buy a chuck roast and ask the butcher to grind the meat for you and divide the meat into one-pound packages and freeze them for additional savings.
When shopping for ground beef…
Some say to look for 80% lean and 20% fat on the label, and that this is a ratio for the juiciest and most tender beef to cook with.
But I prefer 90% lean and 10% fat. But hey, that’s my preference.
