Easy Dinner Recipes with Ground Beef

EASY DINNER RECIPES WITH GROUND BEEF

I have to admit, this collection of easy dinner recipes with ground beef is more for me than you. While I’m being honest, I should tell you that I rarely cook dinner for my family. I know, I know. What kind of Italian doesn’t make homemade meals for their family.

Well, this one apparently.

I used to cook a lot. Once upon I’d make 2 weeks worth of menu plans and go shopping based on them. My kids were younger then and believe it or not, they weren’t as picky as they are now.

Factor in the pandemic where ordering takeout via Door Dash or curbside pick-up was appealing (and easier than dealing with picky-eater complaints), I’ve gotten away from home-cooked meals.

A lot has changed since in the last few years. I homeschool now. I have a daughter in college. I had weight loss surgery which has drastically changed my food intake from portion sizes and the types of foods I eat regularly. And last but not least, the price of groceries has GONE NUTS!

Money is tight and I’m tired of spending an arm and leg on take out. I know there are ways to save money on groceries and menu planning is one of them.

So, I’m determined to start cooking more at home and trying new recipes and since 4 out of 5 of us will eat ground beef, this collection of easy ground beef dinner recipes will really give me a push in the right direction.
