Have an abundance of Ground Beef, or just need some new ideas?
We've compiled a list of some of our staff-favorite recipes, from around the internet. Whether you want to throw something simple together quickly, or have an all day cooking project, there's a recipe for you that we've tested and loved!
Meatballs
There's no shortage of amazing meatball recipes out there, and we're on a mission to try them all. Here are a few of our favorites:

Crispy Sheet-Pan Meatballs with Salsa Verde by Lauren Schaefer of Bon Appétit
Baked Mongolian Beef Meatballs by The Defined Dish
Brothy Meatballs Vacation by Alison Roman of Bon Appétit
Bulgogis and Stir-fries
We love that stir-fries and bulgogi bowls are whole meals unto themselves. These recipes can easily be adapted to use whatever vegetables you have on-hand.

Meatloaf
We think that meatloaf is often under appreciated, but that's because there are so many mediocre recipes out there. We went on a quest to find great recipes that stay moist, have tons of flavor, and hold up well for leftovers (because that's always the best part).

Pasta Sauces
Meat sauces are not only delicious fresh, but are one of the best ways to cook in bulk and have the makings of a great meal ready to go in the freezer. Make sauce in a flash with our 9 O'clock Italian Pasta recipe, or settle into an all day project and make a pot of Bolognese.

Smash Burgers
Make amazing burgers on the stove top! These smash burger recipes emulate the methods, and flavors, used at your favorite fast food joints, but give you the opportunity to give the ingredients some major upgrades.

Better Than Boxed
We've probably all had our share of Hamburger Helper and Manwich (don't lie). But, now that our kitchens are equipped with more than one pot and one pan, it's time to dress these dishes up a little.

All Day Projects
The weekend is here, and an all day cooking project is in order. While these recipes are definitely time consuming, the results are well worth it.
