Hey preppers! How do you season your ground beef so it’s not plain and boring?
Ive been using Old El Paso hot and spicy taco seasoning to my ground beef but it’s just not cutting it lately.. I pretty much eat just to eat it at this point. What are some things you do to change it up sometimes?

I eat 1 lb or ground meat every day. Garlic, salt, pepper.
Greek yogurt, salt, chili powder, garlic

Coriander powder is a game changer (you can add it to any combination of other dry seasoning). Also try out garam masala if you haven’t yet!

While taco seasoning is a great stand by, there are definitely other things to do with it. I like a savory Sunday supper application with onion powder, thyme, sometimes some gravy packet seasoning. I also like it Cajun style with Cajun and old bay seasoning. If you have some soy sauce, garlic powder, and some crushed red pepper (bonus points if you have sesame oil but not needed) that’s yummy on rice.

Just freshly mortared pepper. Sometimes I throw a cayenne pod in there too.

Salt, chili powder, paprika, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder and a little bit of pasta sauce. The pasta sauce really does a lot for me.

I don’t eat a lot of beef. Mostly we eat chicken, and chicken cooked right barely needs any seasoning at all. I usually just sprinkle a little garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Minced onion and/or garlic ftw, depending on your recipe.

“Bulgogi” inspired:
Minced garlic and ginger, chopped green onion
Brown sugar, gochugaru, soy sauce, rice vinegar, vegan oyster sauce, seasame oil, black pepper, chicken bouillon
Put over white rice and top with a fried egg

I love to add pico de Gallo as it cooks down. It helps me not waste it & get some good veggies in. Don’t be afraid to let the meat actually get a good brown on it. I would start with quality spices. Find whole coriander & cumin, dried chiles & onion flake, garlic powder or fresh. Get it all ground with a spice grinder or maybe even a food processor or blender. Adobo & Sazon are good if you want to get away from the generic American taco seasoning & go for more traditionally used seasonings, but high in salt. I would also recommend fresh herbs, jalapeño, green onion, etc. all of this really will add flavor to your meat.

I just made bacon cheeseburger bowls for dinner:
Cook chopped bacon, remove it Cook the beef in the same pan Mix together 1/4 C ketchup, 1/4 C mayo, 2 TBSP mustard, 2 TBSP Worcestershire, 2 TBSP pickle juice, half a teaspoon each of dill and smoked paprika. Add the sauce and a can of diced tomatoes. Let simmer for a bit. Serve with rice, top with bacon pieces and diced pickles.

McCormick has this Toasted Onion and Garlic seasoning that I love on ground beef/turkey. It is made for potatoes it works well on meat too.

If I’m just making it for several meals, I add extra seasoning as I pack them. My regular “bland” is adobo. The sauces and spices can change depending on the 100g I’m using meal to meal.
