Ground beef, it’s the most popular “cut” of beef around and for good reason – it’s versatile, economical, and provides a nutrient dense package (including zinc, iron and protein) to fuel active lifestyle.

Just imagine the convenience to have a freezer loaded with 30 one-pound sleeves of quality grass-fed ground beef, ready to thaw and make a favorite meal.

My giveaway sponsors, Tyler and Taylor (along with their two young sons) of Reil Ranch in South Dakota, are devoted to humanely raising the best grass-fed and grass-finished beef and connecting people to their food source – and I’m all about that connection! That’s why like to get my ground beef straight from the source, and feeling that close connection in supporting America’s ranchers.
So, now that you’ve entered the ground beef giveaway, check out the three of my favorite ground beef recipes I’ve made dozens and dozens of times. I raised up three strapping young men on these healthy beef recipes (plus a husband, lol), not to mention fueled my own running and workout adventures. I’m confident your family will love these easy ground beef meals much as mine still do.
Beef Mushroom Quinoa Chili gets a five-star rating, even from my carnivorous sons and husband. With such a hearty, meaty taste, you’d never expect that more than half of the chili is plant-based, coming from finely chopped mushrooms and quinoa that have a similar texture to ground beef. It’s delicious, has extra nutrients like fiber, and also is mindful of your pocket book, helping to stretch your use of beef in recipes.
This “hybrid” chili recipe with beef, quinoa and mushrooms is being featured in the upcoming cookbook Seriously Good Chili by Brian Baumgartner (aka Kevin from “The Office”) which publishes in September 2022. You can pre order now.
Beef and Egg Barn-raiser Bake is a breakfast casserole that has been VERY popular on my blog for years. It’s also been featured in Taste of Home cookbooks, Beef Loving Texans, and also with me on the Home & Family Show on the Hallmark Channel. If you’re wondering why it’s called “Barn-raiser,” it is referencing the tradition of a community cooperating together to build a barn or another structure. For that, you need nutritious fuel that tastes great (to get helpers motivated) and enough to feed a crowd – this beef and egg breakfast casserole delivers!
Farm Fresh Meat Sauce was inspired by a veggie-loaded recipe by my friends at Beef Loving Texans. I’m all about more veggies with my beef. The sauce does need to simmer for about an hour, but the short wait is definitely work it. It’s delicious served on noodles, zoodles or grits – or as a sauce for baked pasta dishes like lasagna. I usually make a double-batch to freeze because I’ve discovered a few other amazing ways to use this ground beef and vegetable sauce – in an egg bake “shakshuka” style or with a little cream and extra broth to make a quick soup!
