There have been many a time that we’ve thawed more ground beef than we needed for a single recipe or bought the bulk pack at the grocery store only to then feel uninspired. Check out these four delicious recipes to use up the ground beef in your fridge.
Ground beef mince must be one of the most versatile ingredients there is. Beef mince is a great source of protein, with only 332 calories per 100gr. Choose grass fed or veldt reared beef mince for extra nutrition that’s higher in omega fats, CLA and vitamin E. Being freezer friendly, your beef mince can be portion frozen and easily defrosted once it is time for dinner. Here is my favourite ways with mince, that will transform your weekly dinner plan (and most of these makes for the perfect leftover lunch).
