Ground beef is a relatively inexpensive meat and just about always on sale. Another ground meat that can be used is ground turkey. I recommend ground turkey over ground chicken because it has a deeper flavor. If you want to make a more complete meal, try it with your favorite veggies and over rice, cauliflower rice, or noodles.
