Does it have to be cold and wintery to crave comfort food?

No way. Here’s a few of our favourite Ground Beef recipes that will wrap you in comfort all-year-round.

Classic Sweet and Sour Pineapple MeatballsOven-roasting the meatballs instead of pan-frying leaves you free to make the sauce. The meatballs can be assembled the night before, if you wish so you can just pop them in the oven when you get home from work. The sauce can also be made ahead. Serve with cooked rice or rice noodles and snow peas.
