Browned ground meat is the basic component of tacos, enchiladas, burritos, sloppy joes, taco salads, or chili. You got the making’s of some fine eating depending on what you decide. I prefer Tex-Mex.
The meat seasoning depends on chef’s tastes and what’s available in the spice rack. Otherwise, buy pre-packaged seasoning at the store.
It’s a good idea to have fresh peppers, tomatoes, onions, garlic, lettuce, cheese, sour cream, and tortillas on hand. Also olives, avocados, limes, chips, and salsa are nice. A little cerveza or sangria also helps things move along as you cook.
Then again, there’s always hamburger helper...
Feed it to your dogs if they’ll eat such congealed sawdust.

Better check yourself, ansel12. My wife and I laughed at your post, and actually agree with you.
Manwich...there is no other option...
Shepherds pie... Use guineas for more flavor. Toss in some olives and feta cheese to make it interesting with a South American flaire.
Tater tot bake dish.
Or stroganoff.
Or chili.
Green beans, browned onion, flour, beef broth, top with mashed potatoes, paprika and maybe a bit of grated cheese.
Pop in 350 oven for 25-35 minutes and mmmmmm !
I brown a lb of lean ground beef with onions and garlic and one cut up jalepeno pepper. Then I add a half cup or so of dry vermouth (or beer) and some fresh parsley, fresh oregano or cilantro, cumin, a little bit of chili seasoning, green olives, one cut up tomato and let it simmer for a few minutes. Then I serve it with mashed potatoes. Its really good.
Just eat it out of the skillet with salt pepper and mustard.
I just had a taco salad out for lunch yesterday.
Felt very indulgent.
