22 Easy Ground Beef Recipes for Dinner

From casseroles and chili to meatballs and meatloaf; ground beef makes the perfect recipes for easy dinners. 

22 Ground Beef Recipes for Dinner

Currently, the cost for ground beef in the U.S.A. is approximately $5.34/lb. Most dinner recipes call for 1-pound of ground beef; which is enough to feed a family of 4. 

Not including other ingredients, this brings the cost per serving at around $1.34; which makes serving ground beef for dinner very affordable during times of inflation. 

Here are 22 ground beef recipes that are easy to make, delicious and enough to feed a family of four.
