Ground Beef Recipes
Ground beef is one of the most versatile protein options out there – there’s just so much you can make with ground beef! From delicious meatballs to copycat cheeseburgers, classic pasta dishes and comforting soups, I rounded up some of my favourite ground beef recipes that are healthy and easy.
Is ground beef healthy?
While ground beef might occasionally get a bad rap, it’s actually a pretty healthy option with the right fat-to-protein ratio. It’s high in protein, vitamin B and iron, so as long as you eat it in moderation and choose an extra-lean cut, ground beef can be a healthy choice. Just make sure not to go overboard on the salt and seasonings, and always choose extra-lean ground beef for the most nutritious meal.
