Ground Beef

I HATE ground turkey. I LOVE ground beef because it is versatile in many recipes, My advice is to always use fresh fresh beef. Don’t freeze beef. It can get gross if left too long.

I opt for ground beef when preparing tacos, pasta, chili, meatballs, cheeseburger pie, meatloaf (see my amaaaaazing meatloaf recipe below), and Shepherds Pie. Shepherds Pie is a fat girl favorite, and I am a fat girl. A buttery, creamy, meaty mashed potato gravy trough is comfort food to me.
