Dinner is fast approaching, but you haven’t planned anything specific! All you have is a pound of ground beef thawed and ready to go. So what to make? Here’s a handy roundup of more than 40 THM friendly ground beef recipes coming to your rescue!

Each of these recipes work on the Trim Healthy Mama lifestyle plan as an S (Satisfying) main dish. They each also work in keto and various other low carb diets, but of course I recommend THM! Please don’t forget that these are all MAIN DISHES meaning you’ll need a veggie side or two to go along with them.
