I need new recipes for ground beef or turkey. In a bad way. I always buy it cause it's usually pretty cheap but I always end up making the same meals, which usually consist of spaghetti sauce, tacos and the occasional hamburger or meatloaf. If anyone out there has a favorite/good recipe involving ground beef, please send it my way! The Strategically Placed Amigo family members will be very grateful!

I'm looking forward to getting some more recipes, too. I always have tons of ground turkey, but we're getting tired of the same things.
That recipe sounds like it has "too much sauce"!
Brown 1 pound of ground beef/turkey and season it like you're making tacos (1 packet of taco seasoning). Add 2 cans corn, 2 cans kidney beans, and 3 cans Mexican style stewed tomatoes (chopped up a little). Don't drain any of the cans. Cook it on medium for 20-30 minutes. Serve with tortilla chips, sour cream, and grated cheddar cheese.
I usually don't like red meat, but I LOVE this taco soup.
THE BURGER
1 lb ground turkey (or beef)
1 egg
1/2 onion, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp crushed coriander
1/2 tsp celery seed
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1 TBS parsley
salt and pepper to taste
Mix all together. Shape in the form of burgers and grill.
TOPPING
3 tomatoes, chopped
1/3 cup onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 lime, juiced
cilantro to taste
salt and pepper to taste
Grill the burger, add a slice of sharp cheddar cheese (or whatever cheese you want) on top so it melts. Place the burger on the bottom bun, put the topping on the burger, put the top of the bun on the burger, and viola - you have a tasty burger.

============================
Short-hand Recipes:
Taco Salad - Toss: lettuce, gr. beef/turkey, cheese, kidney beans, onions (green or red), olives, 1/4" cubed cheese, slightly crushed tortilla chips, catalina salad dressing
Manwich Sloppy Joe Salad - Layer: shredded lettuce, small fritos, sloppy joe sauce (warm or cooled), cheese, onions (green or red), catalina salad dressing, dollop of sour cream
Shepherd's Pie - Sauce: 1 lb browned gr. beef/turkey w/onions; add 28 oz. crushed tomatoes, 2 cans green beans, chili & onion powder. Top w/mashed potatoes & cheese. **Casserole variation: brown sliced mushrooms & yellow crookneck squash w/meat/onions & leave green beans out of sauce. Add 2-3 c. cooked elbow or shell pasta instead of topping w/potatoes (everything else is the same). Bake, microwave, or stovetop.
Layered Enchiladas - Sauce: 1/2 lb. browned gr. beef/turkey w/onions, diced green chiles, sliced olives, 15-16 oz. tomato sauce (reserve 2 Tbsp. for bottom of pan). Spray-oil a deepish round casserole & spread reserved tomato sauce over bottom; layer flour tortilla, sauce, cheese; repeat about 5 times. Top w/picante or taco sauce & sour cream. Bake or microwave.
Also, to the "Taco Soup", try adding 1-2 Tbsp. "Hidden Valley Ranch" salad dressing or dip seasoning mix - WOW, it makes a big taste difference and it is a fun "secret ingredient"!
