Cheap Ground Beef Recipes That Aren’t Tacos 🍔💸

Ground beef is such a budget-friendly protein, but plain beef just doesn’t do it for me. I’ve started buying it in bulk when it’s on sale and freezing it in meal-sized portions—way cheaper than buying small packs every week. My go-to move is to make big batches of chili or shepherd’s pie and portion them out for lunches. I’ll also mix ground beef with veggies and rice, then season it with soy sauce and garlic for a quick stir-fry. Meatballs are another winner—just add breadcrumbs, egg, and whatever herbs are on hand, then bake a whole tray at once. If I’m feeling lazy, I’ll just brown the beef, toss in some frozen mixed veggies, and top it with a fried egg. It’s filling and doesn’t taste like taco night for the third time in a row. Swapping out expensive cuts for ground beef in recipes like stuffed peppers or pasta sauce really stretches my grocery budget. When the price is right, it’s hard to beat for meal prep. #Recipes #budgetmeals #groundbeefideas #mealprep #savemoneyoncooking #Food
