Learn how to make delicious ground beef dinner ideas. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 pound ground beef (preferably grass-fed for richer flavor)
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups cooked rice or pasta (optional, for serving)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

For those who like a bit of heat, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes. If you’re looking for a vegetarian twist, mushrooms can be a great substitute for the ground beef.

Instructions

  1. Start by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
  2. Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 8-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Pour in the diced tomatoes and beef broth, stirring to combine. Add Worcestershire sauce and thyme, then bring the mixture to a simmer.
  4. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. If you’re serving with rice or pasta, prepare it according to package instructions while the beef mixture simmers.
  6. Once the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  7. Serve the ground beef over your choice of rice or pasta, garnished with fresh parsley. Enjoy the meal with a side of warm, crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
