    paleo groundbeef main

    Itโ€™s a kitchen workhorse. Itโ€™s often the cheapest cut of beef available, so most of us end up buying a lot of it. But making the same chili, meatball, meatloaf, and burger recipes gets old after a while โ€“ and thereโ€™s no reason you need to keep doing the same old things with such a versatile food! So here are 10 interesting recipes to keep ground beef from getting dull.

    1. Karniyarik (Turkish stuffed eggplant) (The Domestic Man). Sure, youโ€™ve had stuffed peppers (if youโ€™ve been on the ground beef train for a while, youโ€™ve probably had every conceivable variety of stuffed pepper in existence). But have you tried stuffing anything else?

    If you liked that, try some other recipes for stuffed vegetables...

    • Paleo stuffed eggplant (Everyday Maven).
    • Giant stuffed mushrooms (Everyday Paleo).
    • Stuffed acorn squash (Yaya Recommended).

    2. Indian ground beef curry (My Heart Beets). Itโ€™s a little bit like chili, if chili got an Indian-themed makeover. Adding potatoes makes for a hearty meal, and donโ€™t forget some cauliflower rice to soak up the sauce!

    If you liked that, try some other Indian-inspired recipes...

    • Indian Kheema Matar (Buttoni)
    • Deconstructed Samosa (Nom Nom Paleo)

    3. Ground Beef and Baba Ghanouj Breakfast Bowl (The Healthy Foodie). Ground beef gets a Middle Eastern makeover with a smoky eggplant dip and fresh tomatoes. And eating it for breakfast is a nice change of pace from eggs.

    If you liked that, try some other Mediterranean and Middle Eastern-themed ideas...

    • Paleo Ground Beef Kebabs with Tzatziki Sauce (Jackson and Laguna). The sauce contains dairy, but the kebabs are dairy-free.
    • Spicy Beef and Cucumber Salad with Cashew Raita (Eat Drink Paleo).

    4. Moroccan Beef and Fig Stew (Things My Belly Likes). Get some sweetness in your ground beef with a big bowl of stew full of North African flavors.

    If you liked that, try another African dish...

    • Sukuma Wiki (Kenyan Braised Collard Greens and Ground Beef) (The Domestic Man)

    5. Bakso (Indonesian Beef Balls) (The Clothes Make the Girl). These have a different texture from typical ground beef recipes, so if youโ€™re suffering from texture fatigue, theyโ€™re a great alternative.

    If you liked that, try some other Asian flavors...

    • Vietnamese Beef Meatballs (Three Beans on a String)
    • Asian Ground Beef and Veggie Lettuce Wraps (Paleo Plan)

    6. Chili, Coriander, and Sweet Potato Biohacker Beef Sausage (Biohackers Recipes). Whether or not youโ€™re into biohacking, you have to admire their dedication to spices. From a biohacker perspective, the spices all have special antioxidant, anti-inflammatory benefits; to the rest of us, theyโ€™re just plain tasty.

    If you liked that, try some other homemade sausages...

    • Garlic Beef Sausage (The Paleo Mom)
    • Paleo Beef Breakfast Sausage (Hollywood Homestead)

    7. Pumpkin and Beef Sautee (Keto Diet).

    If you liked that, try another recipe pairing ground beef with sweet-starchy vegetables...

    • Keto Taco Salad (Paleo Leap)
    • Afghani Pumpkin and Beef (Kaddo Bourani) (Stuff I Make My Husband)

    8. Boston Baked Beef (TGI Paleo). Yes, like Boston baked beans. Except hold the beans. If youโ€™re missing porkโ€™nโ€™beans or any other legume-based comfort food, this one is a must-try.

    If you liked that, try some other savory-spicy recipes...

    • Smoky Beef and Lamb Stew (Paleo in PDX)
    • Sweet Potato Beef Paprikash (Life Made Full)

    9. Salted Mocha Burgers (Popular Paleo). Burgers: they donโ€™t all have to taste the same! There are endless ways to get creative with the flavors - if you've never considered putting coffee in a hamburger before, you might be surprised by how much you like it!

    If you liked that, try some other interesting burgers...

    • Cinnamon Chipotle Sliders (PaleOMG)
    • Aussie Burger (Paleo Leap)
    aussie burger main

    10. Cashew Beef Stir-Fry (Paleo Foodie Kitchen). Adding nuts to your stir-fry mixes up the texture with a little bit of crunch and takes it beyond the typical rotation of meat and vegetables.

    If you liked that, try some other stir-fries...

    • Stir-Fried Kelp Noodles with Ground Beef, Broccoli Slaw, and Spinach (Nom Nom Paleo)
    • Taco Beef Cabbage Stir-Fry (Unrefined Kitchen)
