What should I make for dinner?

I took 1 lb of ground beef out of the freezer to thaw last night, and I have no idea what to do with it.

So far this week we've had Quesadilla Caserole (chicken, beans and corn mixed w/ BBQ sauce and baked), Quesadilla's, and Kraff Dinner (Mac & Cheese, so nutritious, I know).

All I can come up with is pasta w/ meat sauce or tacos.  

What do you guys suggest???

Re: What should I make for dinner?

  • My go-to ground beef meals are generally the two that you already mentioned or meatloaf or sloppy joes. 
  • Chili? It's my fast and lazy way of making dinner and lunch.

    That was Sunday's dinner!  I think we've hit our bean quota for the week.  :P

    I think I'm leaning towards tacos.  We have tortillas, cheese, salsa and sour cream.  Oh, and some red onion, so really I just need taco seasoning and some bell peppers.   And lettuce.  Can't forget lettuce.  I keep forgetting the lettuce.

  • I like these 'impossible pies', made with Bisquick.  You can adjust the ingredients to be somewhat healthy.

  • What about lasagna?  You'd probably have to run out for some ingredients, but it would be a nice break from what you've already eaten this week.

  • Woo what about cottage pie? I laughed out lout at you having your bean quota for the week.

  • Les, I have to admit, the picture of that pie thing just doesn't turn my crank.  I think I need more veggies than that too.

    Neptoon, good suggestion.  But, we are making lasagna next week (our Valentines thing) and I think I might be pasta'd out.  It is an option though.

    eeeeeeeeeeeeeva, yeah, beans.  I did kidney beans and chickpeas in the chili on Sunday, then black beans in the Quesadilla casserole thingy.  It was a stinky few days at our house.

  • What about shepards pie. We make ours with beef, cream of mushroom, veggies, and potatoes.

  • Burgers, Salisbury steak, veggie-beef soup, shepherds pie.  There is a good stuffed pepper recipe on Skinny Taste.  She uses ground turkey, but you could do beef.

    I make this often except subsitute rice for potatoes. Russ and the kids absolutely love it.

    Stuffed peppers!  That would have been awesome.  I never think to do them with meat because the only recipe I've ever made is stuffed with quinoa and spinach (and topped with this awesome pesto, I need to make those again), but I keep meaning to try them with meat.

    Next time for sure!

  • I made my mom's Spanish rice dish tonight. I don't know how "Spanish" it is considering we are Irish but its really yummy.

    1lb ground turnkey

    1 small green pepper

    1 small chopped onion

    1 can of tomato sauce

    2 cups of cooked rice

     Basically brown the turkey in a skillet, add the veggies saut? until tender like 10 min I'd say. Add in the sauce and rice. Season with S&P, all done.
