A lot of people are struggling these days and meat is one of the most expensive products out there. Ground meat is relatively cheap but when I see people asking for recipe ideas using ground meat, the same ones seem to get suggested. The usual savoury mince, spaghetti bolognese, meatballs etc. There’s a lot more to ground meat than these tasty, but sometimes, boring ground meat staple dishes. Here are 32 gourmet style recipes using ground meat.
Many of the most beautiful tasting cuisines from around the world, and often the most poor countries in the world, use ground meat in the most amazing ways. All you need is a few extra staples to keep in the pantry and you can quite easily create these dishes in your home kitchen.
You can use any ground meat for any of these recipes. Ground meat comes in the form of beef, pork, chicken, lamb, turkey, veal or a combination of any of these. They can be interchanged in any way. If you see a recipe using ground chicken but only have pork, use the pork. It’s such a versatile cut of meat, and cheap!
