These 15 recipes use ground beef and just five other ingredients (excluding salt, pepper, oil, and water) to create a variety of delicious dinners you’ll want to make again.
So whether you’re short on time, already have a package of ground beef in the fridge, or want to save a little money, you’re sure to find a recipe below that will work for you. Be sure to read helpful tips and recipes from our editors and contributors as you go, as some of these recipes need a little tweaking to meet our self-imposed six-ingredient requirement.
