Clean ground beef recipes
I am a cheapskate when it comes to food shopping.
I don’t like going to the supermarket more than once a week because then I blow my budget. I know my faults. I MUST resist that second trip at all costs! But this has left me with that age old, super frustrating “Whats for Dinner” Dilemma.
Staring blankly into the freezer. I see three things:
1. Packs of Minced Beef (4 of them.)
2. Frozen Vegetables.
3. Ice Blocks.The Water type.
Yip. It’s kind of sad that I’ve let it get to this point. But am I worried? No. No I’m not. Because I have this sneaky little list of minced beef recipes up my sleeve that I know will impress even my family of apprentice food critics.

Honey Barbecue Meat Loaf
Sticky, Sweet and a little bit smoky. Oh my Goodness!!! I’ve always thought meatloaf was a really clever way to class up ground beef. IT looks like a little roast. But it’s not. See what I mean? Clever. The recipe call for Barbecue sauce. You can either make your own or buy a ‘good enough’ version. I get mine from a local wholefoods supermarket. Yes it has added sugar, but it’s just one of those things that I just feel is not worth the effort making from scratch just to forgo a little sugar.
Beef Masaala and Scalloped Potato Casserole
A Spin on the Classic Cottage Pie. Crisp and Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes take this dish to a whole new level. Delicious! You can skip the wine, but I think it’s what gives this recipe the ‘Wow” factor.
