Here at Fit Healthy Macros, we love creating balanced, high-protein recipes using all kinds of protein sources. Lean ground beef is one of our favorites! Why? Because it tastes great and goes well with so many classic dishes.
We rounded up 10 of our favorite Macro-Friendly Ground Beef Recipes that include lean ground beef, tons of flavor, and great macros! Which one will you try first?
Macro-Balanced Recipes With Lean Ground Beef
Ground Beef & Broccoli Stir Fry
Beef and Broccoli is a popular takeout dish, but when you can make it at home in about the same amount of time and give it a macro-friendly twist, you have the perfect meal! Our Beef and Broccoli Stir-fry skillet is ready in about 30 minutes and is a family favorite.
Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers
If you’re tracking macros, a large hoagie can really put a dent in them. But, if you swap that bun for a bell pepper, you can enjoy the traditional flavors of a Philly Cheesesteak, but without the high calorie and carb content.
Cheeseburger Pie
I remember growing up we would often have cheeseburger pie and it was a homemade dinner that the whole family enjoyed. I decided to re-create that comforting dish, giving it a more balanced set of macros, and it’s just as delicious as it was back then.
