My husband keeps bringing home ground beef, and I’m looking for creative ways to use it beyond burgers and meatloaf. We don’t have any dietary restrictions, but we’re trying to incorporate more veggies into our meals. Any suggestions?

    There are plenty of delicious ways to use ground beef besides burgers and meatloaf! Here are some ideas that incorporate plenty of vegetables:

    1. Stuffed Peppers: Mix ground beef with rice, beans, diced tomatoes, and your favorite spices. Stuff the mixture into halved bell peppers and bake until the peppers are tender.

    2. Beef and Vegetable Stir-Fry: Sauté ground beef with a variety of chopped vegetables such as bell peppers, broccoli, and snap peas. Add some soy sauce, ginger, and garlic for flavor. Serve over rice or noodles.

    3. Tacos or Burrito Bowls: Cook the ground beef with taco seasoning, then serve in taco shells or over a bowl of rice, topped with lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, beans, and cheese.

    4. Zucchini Boats: Hollow out some zucchini and fill them with a mixture of cooked ground beef, marinara sauce, and cheese. Bake until the zucchini is tender.

    5. Beef and Veggie Skillet: Brown the ground beef and add in diced onions, carrots, and any other vegetables you like. Season with herbs and spices for a quick one-pan meal.

    6. Chili: Make a hearty chili with ground beef, canned tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, bell peppers, onions, and spices. Serve it with cornbread.

    7. Cabbage Roll Casserole: Layer cooked cabbage leaves, ground beef, rice, and tomato sauce in a baking dish. Bake until everything is hot and bubbly.

    8. Asian Lettuce Wraps: Cook the ground beef with garlic, ginger, and water chestnuts, then serve in lettuce leaves with your choice of toppings like shredded carrots and hoisin sauce.

    9. Spaghetti Bolognese: Make a rich sauce with ground beef, tomatoes, carrots, and celery, and serve it over your favorite pasta.

    10. Kebab Skewers: Mix ground beef with herbs and spices, then form onto skewers. Grill with vegetables like bell peppers and onions for a fun meal.

    Feel free to mix and match the vegetables and flavors based on what you have on hand. Enjoy your cooking!
