Meal Plan and Recipe Notes
Here are some tips to keep in mind when using ground beef for meal planning:
- Buy in Bulk! Purchasing ground beef in larger quantities will help you save money.
- If you purchase ground beef in bulk, separate the package into portion sizes for a meal for your family and freeze! Wrap the beef in aluminum foil and then add it to a freezer-safe plastic bag. Don't forget to label and date the bag!
- Balance the protein with other ingredients by adding vegetables and grains to your meal planning. This will make the meal nutritionally balanced.
- Aim for leaner cuts of beef to lower the fat intake. You can also combine ground beef with ground turkey or chicken.
- When browning beef for one recipe, consider browning extra and freezing that portion. That way it's ready to go when you need to create a fast meal.

Recipe FAQ's
How much ground beef per person for dinner?
As a general rule of thumb, a serving of ground beef is typically around 4 to 6 ounces.
How many pounds of ground beef to feed 25 people?
If you're planning to serve ground beef as a main course for 25 people, you will need a significant amount of beef. As a general rule of thumb, it's safe to assume that 1 pound of ground beef will yield around 4 servings.
How do you get grease out of cooked ground beef?
After you have browned the meat, it's best to drain the fat or grease that is rendered after cooking the meat. Simply transfer the browned ground beef to a colander and allow the grease to drain. You can also strain it through a fine mesh sieve to separate the grease from the beef.
