Easy Quarantine Meals - Ground Beef

A collection of simple ground beef dishes that you can make with what you have on hand.

 I am sure by now, everyone is pretty much on the same page in terms of this global pandemic that we are currently going through. Like everyone else, we are attempting to make the best of this situation and living life with new norms and new terms such as "social distancing" & "stay home/work safe".

I had plunged into the year 2020 with such high hopes as my Pineapple Tarts business was taking off to great heights. I decided to take a break after Chinese New Year to regroup and evaluate how to bring my little home baked goods business to the next level. I never thought that this break would be indefinite, as of now.

With schools and most non-essential businesses closed, life has been a little less hectic at home for us. There's no rushing and ferrying kids around for activities. But with the kids home all day now, there really is no kicking back and watching movies all day long for me at all. I am making 3 meals a day for these hungry kids, facilitating online/distance learning and still keeping up with my house chores. Having said that, I am extremely grateful for the school district and teachers who have made so much effort and preparation to help the kids continue learning in a fun way at home. 

Now, being so busy cooking all day long has got me thinking about all the recipes that I had posted. Hence, I decided to start a series by re-sharing my recipes that might come in handy to you during these trying times.

To start, I compiled a list of simple ground beef recipes that you can make with what you may have on hand. I hope you'll find them useful.
