RECIPE: What Do I Do With This Ground Beef? Now that we are on the back side of Lent, bring on the meat, seven days a week! I won't deny it, beef has always been a main staple in my diet but as I've aged other proteins have found their place on our weekly menu. Lots of pork, sea food and fish too. But when you buy beef in bulk you end up with a large amount of ground beef. Now what? It used to be that a package of ground beef was the stand-by for many last minute dinner decisions. But if you keep it frozen, that presents another step most people just don't care to deal with. So in a perfect scenario your ground beef is thawed out and ready to go. Spin the recipe wheel.
