This round-up of AIP Ground Beef Recipes shares the 29 best Autoimmune Protocol ground beef recipes with you — to make delicious, healthy meals that much easier and more accessible!
Ground beef is the best and most commonly enjoyed protein on wellness diets!
Being AIP, the following recipes are nut-free, dairy-free, egg-free and anti-inflammatory in other subtle ways, too. A lot of them are also Low FODMAP, which I’ve labeled so you know which ones.
You can read more about the AIP diet here.
These recipes are also Paleo, Gluten-free and Whole30. Enjoy, and happy healthy eating!
Is ground beef healthy
The answer is YES!, if it’s grass-finished.
You want beef that’s been raised on pesticide-free grass its whole life, not just for a short time (like most grass-fed beef).
I know that’s not easy or possible for everyone. So don’t feel badly if you can’t get the best, but I think it’s still ideal to know what is the best and why. You can read more about how to get good beef here.
If you’re able to get grass-finished ground beef, then it’s high in omega-3 fatty acids!
Grass-finished beef purchased directly from the farmer is more affordable. Ask around to see who might be growing regenerative beef in your town or a nearby city.
29 AIP Ground Beef Recipes
1. Hamburger Macaroni Pasta
Hamburger, pasta and a super simple sauce make such a great comfort food dinner. You can’t go wrong with this classic combination, and it’s SO nice to have pasta on AIP. (Low FODMAP)
2. Coconut Ground Beef Curry with Turmeric

4. Stuffed Acorn Squash with Sausage, Apples and Cranberries
Stuffed Acorn Squash with Sausage, Apples and Cranberries is a delicious, exciting meal that celebrates fall and winter foods and coziness. This recipe is versatile because it allows you to use ground beef, which is what I use myself when I make it. Don’t be surprised when you click through: The main title says “Baked Potatoes”, but just pop on down to the Notes section below the recipe to see the AIP version made with acorn squash.
5. Paleo AIP Shepherd’s Pie
An easy sauté of ground beef and veggies gets topped with fabulous Mashed Parsnips, and baked until browned around the edges. Slice into squares, and serve with freshly minced parsley. Easy, impressive and comfortingly Irish. There is nothing like a casserole! Pop it in the oven, clean up the kitchen, relax, and then serve when it’s ready with a little easy side salad.
6. AIP Mexican Ground Beef (Tacos or Taco Salad)
Serve this exciting spiced beef in a big compliant taco salad, or make tacos with these Plantain Taco Shells, Avocado Crema and nightshade-free Strawberry Pico de Gallo, for a truly incredible meal.

My teenage son and his best friend love this pasta dish. It’s hearty, has lots of interesting ingredients, and it fills you up!

(Yes, AIP-compliant artichoke hearts are now available!)
13. Beef, Apples and Onions Hash
The original recipe uses ground turkey, but we love this one with beef, too. Beef and sauteed onions are always good. Added apples bring a sweetness that reminds me of good Jewish cooking. (Optional: Add chopped dried fruit to accentuate this, in the last few minutes of cooking: prunes or apricots are the most traditional.)
14. Best AIP Chili Recipe
This Best AIP Chili Recipe gives you the gentle comfort food heat and spice + all the rich cozy deliciousness you want from hearty Southwest food, but without the nightshades or legumes … and with a Low FODMAP option.

I’m enjoying having all these recipes together. I recently made the Shephard‘a pie, the best of all the versions I’ve tried, and two of us devoured it in two meals. Next I want to try the beef and parsnip poppers, then maybe the beef gyros. Some others have been enjoyed as well, especially the coconut ground beef curry (without turmeric), which I’ve made more than any. Great ground beef recipes!
