What to do with 1 lb of ground beef?

If you have flour tortillas, ground beef & various spices, then I say burritos!!!

 

If ya got potatoes , shepards pie . Season rice and meat together and make a stir fry just add veggies . Also maybe a pasta with neat added ( spaghetti and meat balls or something )

 

These are called Albondigas. Idk if you have ever heard of them but they are like mexican meatballs. I Dont know if this is how my mom does em but i got em offline. You should give em a try
This amount feeds 4 people
ingredients:
1 / 4 ground beef
1 egg
3 tablespoons bread crumbs
3 tablespoons rice
3 or 4 tomatoes
1 garlic
1 piece of onion
3 zucchini
1 serrano chile verde
salt to taste

Preparation: Mexican Meatballs

1 - Mix in a bowl the ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, rice and salt, mix until uniform mixture.

2 - Form balls of similar size egg (but little round)

3 - Place in a pot of boiling water for 20 minutes around

4 .- Place in blender the tomatoes, garlic, onion with a cup of water and blend, the results bring to the boil in a saucepan.

5 .- I boiled the balls off the heat out of the water and place in pan with tomato sauce, add the chile and cut the squash

 

I'd vote some sort of mexican dish as well

 

I was going to say either shepherd's pie or burritos. Even if you're doing fajitas later, you could still have a Mexican-type dish of some sort. As a Texan, you're entitled to eat Mexican at least five times a week without facing any judgement. Speaking of, I'm really wanting to get some Chuy's...

 

Homemade vegetable soup with mini meatballs is always tasty. You'd have to go to the store in that case, though.

 

Taco pie!

Brown the beef, and add kidney beans (if you have any). Cook down/drain any juices. Then, use the tortilla shells and place one at the bottom of a small pot, adding the beef/beans as a filling. Stack about 4 or 5 shells. Then, place in the oven at about 350F for about 10-15 minutes. It's really simple, and I love it!

(I also like to add shredded cheese in between the layers and on the top.)

EDIT: I just realized this thread was made yesterday. So, it's likely he's already made a decision. xD

 

These are to die for. Unfortunately I'm too lazy to cook for myself so I rarely ever have them.

They are basically tortillas with some taco/spice seasoning for the ground beef and some cheese sauce that gets melted in with the beef and also spread on top. I usually top it with some salsa and occasionally some crushed doritos after baking to give it a little extra crunch.

 

Chinese, rice meat and broccoli win
! its best mexican is overrated

 

I would say tacos or burritos or something since you have tortillas and beans.

 

THIS!!!

Best food ever. Mashed potatoes, hamburger, tomato sauce, corn, green beans, mmmmmm

 

!! Yes, shepards pie is yummy

 

Chili?

 

Burritos or nachos

(you can toast or fry the tortillas)

 

Meat sauce for pasta. If you want to do it fast, just get some regular marinara sauce from the grocery store, brown the beef in a pan, add some Italian seasoning, salt and petter, mix in the sauce and let it cook on low for about 20 minutes. You can't go wrong.

 

If you can't use the whole pound at once you can freeze some of it. Maybe freeze half of it for another day. Lots of great ideas above. I like meatloaf with garlic asiago mashed potatoes and carrots for a nice cold weather comfort food meal. I put a few peeled cloves of garlic in the pot while boiling the potatoes and then mash the garlic in a bowl before mashing the potatoes and mix together with butter, warm milk, shredded cheese, seasoned salt etc.

So what'd u end up making?

 

Pfft, you can never have too much mexican in a week.

Maybe a pasta dish? I take bottled pasta sauce, beef it up, add some veggies, and a healthy serving of garlic powder.
