Ground beef with taco seasoning is a staple at our house.

Pulled pork

Grill chicken thighs with either teriyaki or pollo asado marinade. Chop them up when you pull them off the grill.

Cook a lean beef roast overnight in a 250° oven then shred in the juices and add canned green chilis and salsa with a little flour to thicken and mix it all up to use in taco salad, burritos, nachos etc.

All of these can be made in big batches and then frozen. Get a vacuum sealer and portion in the quantities your family will use.

Trying to eat more protein and would love some fresh ideas! Bonus if it's something I can batch cook and reincorporate into other meals later in the week. Thank you in advance!

no one needs to eat more protein. Americans eat too much protein. We need to eat more leafy greens, low-glycemic fruits, and whole, unrefined grains.

Ground turkey, ground lamb, salmon. I usually have lamb a few topimes a month, I ground turkey and salmon a few times a week — usually as salads or stir fries, and lentils when I get a taste for them.
