Why this recipe is so great!

These Ground Beef Lettuce Wraps are super easy to make! You can have them made in about 15 minutes!

These are super tasty and filled with great seasoning and spices. Full of flavor and really healthy for you! You can serve this to your keto friendly friends!

Spice it up with some Hot Sauce, Siracha, or cool it down with some Yum Yum Sauce drizzled on top!

Make this meal kid friendly!

I know, I know, lettuce wraps are really not a kid friendly meal no matter how fun it is to eat them with your hands.

So what I do is make a side of rice, and serve my kids this meal on top of rice in a new Asian Ground Beef Bowl topped with some cool and creamy Yum Yum Sauce.
