I need Ground Beef Meal Ideas...Dairy Free please! - Page 2

[peypeymama]

My husband calls it goulash, while I call it stroganoff. It's good over rice or noodles

ground beef
garlic
paprika
pepper
can of golden mushroom or beefy mushroom soup
beef broth (about a half cup) to get to your desired consistancy (I freeze broth into cubes so I can just throw a cube in)

fast and yummy. We like it garlicky but really easy to accommodate your family's "spice level"

Swedish meatballs
We do mini meatball soup for a change, instead of just meatballs in spaghetti sauce
Spanish rice

Look in here: http://allrecipes.com/Search/Recipes...=ground%20beef

I use it for meatballs (we like them stuffed with herbs and Feta Cheese but you can do them dairy free) You can stuff those with just about anything you like.


I also make a dish with any veggies on hand like Zucchini, Carrots, Peppers, Corn. Fry the ground beef crumbly add chopped garlic and onion, spices and seasonings to taste ( we like sambal oelek, paprika, pepper, salt...) add tomato paste add veggies and a little veggie broth and rice. Cook until the veggies are nice and tender and rice is done.

Yesterday I made a dish with ground beef, veggies, noodles, canned tomatoes and italian seasoning. It was very good. Although I baked it in the oven to melt cheese on top, you can leave the cheese out.

Someone had allready said stuffed cabbage rolls. They are very good too.

Ground beef is really versatile...

omg... I haven't had cabbage rolls in soooo long!!! Man they're delicious! Cheap as all get out!

We do dairy free, too. These taquitos are a staple, I just leave out the cheese. I also change it up and use ground chicken sometimes. Next time I'm going to try some finely diced veggies like zucchini and peppers. You could do a veggie version with some beans, too. They are a fun change from tacos, plus they are easy for DS to eat. All of the good stuff is rolled up in the tortilla and neatly (somewhat) contained.

My mom makes twice baked potatoes with ground beef.

She bakes the potato, scoops it out, mashes it with cooked ground beef, a little beef stock, shredded spinach and a lot of garlic and some salt and pepper. Sticks it back in the skins and tops with sauteed onion rings and bakes again. Super yummy, super easy!

I detest cabbage, but make cabbage rolls with kale leaves. :

I love italian wedding soup, with tiny meatballs floating in it!

We do this too - soooo good. We add 1/2 bag frozen regular corn with the creamed corn.

That sounds good - I'm going to try it!!!

I second those who said taco salad & wedding soup. And whenever I make meatloaf (which is a lot!!!) I try to vary it - somtimes I put honey on it when it's baking, sometimes BBQ sauce. I always finely shred carrots and add it to my meatloaf mixture....kids get veggies without knowing it, and it helps keep it moist.

I make matzah ball soup with tons of veggies and mini meatballs..

I also make "hamburger stew" - which is just stew with ground beef instead of stew meat lol. you can totally vary the veggies to be whatever you have in the house.

I use ground beef allll the time but I think most of the things I make have already been said

Stuffed peppers. For little ones try using the same filling but wrapping it in cabbage leaves instead.

Make a meatloaf but add a lot of medium dice carrots, celery, onions. Substitute rice for bread if you want. Serve with sweet potato fries or mashed squash.

Season burgers with curry, extra tumeric, chopped onions. Make a fruit chutney seasoned with tumeric to eat with it instead of a bun.

Make meatballs with chopped onions and serve with a brown gravy thickened with yogurt instead of cream, and "stamppot" (a dutch thing, basically mashed potatos and saurkraut mixed. If you first cook the saurkraut with a can of pineapple chunks it cuts the acidity and kids love it!)

Spaghetti sauce. I buy italian sausage whenever it is on sale, and freeze it. Then I mix one part sausage to two parts ground beef, and it makes a really nice spaghetti sauce. Or you can use silken tofu instead of cheese and make a lasagna (SO GOOD I've made it with the tofu!!!).

Last night we sauteed up some diced onion, napa cabbage, carrots, and flowerettes of cauliflower in a little olive oil and sesame oil. I tossed in some pre cooked bean thread noodles( we are gluten free but any asian style stir fry noodle would work) and browned the pancake of stuff. In another pan I browned the ground beef. After the beef was cooked I tossed in a couple of cloves of diced garlic, a tablespoon of diced ginger, a blob of honey( I used some plum jam that I had dregs of in the fridge) a tad of braggs or soya sauce, and a bit of spice if you like it. I uually have some sambal in the fridge that I pop in there. A handful of sesame seeds is good too. I layered the ginger beef mixture on top of the noodle mix, then poured in a half dozen beaten eggs. I popped the whole fry pan in the oven at 350 until set. Yummy with extra hommade plum sauce and spice on top. Asian style frittatta. Good with lots of mixed veggies that you may have. I wing it. This was my emergency dinner that took under 15 min to throw together.

Beef enchiladas. If you leave the cheese off the top, they'd be dairy free, and we think they are just as good that way.

Ground beef gyros! Stuff in a pita with sliced tomato, lettuce, and top with cucumber yogurt.

That sounds so awesome. We can't do soy or tamari, but I might have to get some plum jam just for something hoisin-ish.
