School is in full swing here, so back to tight routines, homework, and early bedtimes. With my girls at a school farther from our house, it makes for a chaotic schedule. But, the good thing is I work from home and able to adapt and shift accordingly.
I pick both of my daughters up from school, and the first thing they ask when they settle in the car is, "What's for dinner?" because they choose to skip out on school lunch and eat from home.
To make sure they are not waiting too long before dinner is ready, I like to make easy meals that are 30 minutes or less by using ground beef.
With ground beef, there are so many possibilities of creating a tasty dish in no time flat.
The ground beef of choice I like to prepare my meals is using Laura's Lean, a premium, better-for-you, 92% ground beef, 96% ground beef. Laura's Lean is all-natural, bringing out the delicious, fresh taste with every nutritious meal.
Unlike most other natural beef, Laura’s Lean product is a “Never Ever” offering, meaning their protein is sourced from suppliers that raise their cattle without ever using added hormones or antibiotics and are always vegetarian fed.
Also, all products carrying Laura’s Lean claim must meet strict USDA standards to qualify as lean.

Laura's Lean is certified through the American Heart Association heart check program too.

Many benefits using Laura's Lean products, which makes me happy to serve to my family. And to mention that Laura Freeman, the creator behind the brand Laura's Lean, paved the way as a female pioneer in a very male-oriented industry.

Hamburgers
Hamburgers are a huge fan favorite with my youngest daughter, Michelle. In her words, she could eat hamburgers every day if she could. Hamburgers can be made in many ways by adding your favorites toppings and condiments like cheese, tomatoes, onions, lettuce, ketchup, mayo, etc.
Chili
I like to cook a big pot of chili during the colder months, using kidney beans, ground beef, and chili seasoning. I get creative by adding sour cream, shredded cheese, and sprinkle chopped green onions on top. To make the chili more fulfilling, I add white rice on the bottom with the chili on top.
Tacos
Tacos make a great meal any day of the week, and you can make it your own way. Fill up your crispy hard shell taco with seasoned ground beef, beans, cheese, pico de gallo, sour cream, etc. And have more fun with this dish by creating taco salads, burritos, nachos, Mexican pizza.
Beef Pasta
Beef Pasta is very simple to make; all you need is ground beef, tomato sauce, and Italian noodles. Throw them all together, and you have a tasty beef pasta meal in less than 30 minutes. Add some parmesan cheese for more added flavor.
