Want to do something different than chicken and rice for once. Thinking ground beef or pork based stuff that reheats well. Need to feed a family so nothing too fancy. Looking for like 3-4 different meals that I can batch cook and portion out. What do you guys make that stays good in the fridge for 4-5 days?
Ground beef chili is underrated for meal prep. Make it Sunday, throw it in containers, and you can do so many things with it all week. Chili bowl, over rice, in tacos, whatever.
Ground beef tacos are my secret weapon. Do a big batch of seasoned beef on Sunday, then you can throw them in a quesadilla, taco, or burrito bowl during the week. Takes like 20 minutes and feeds everyone for days.
Low and slow brisket is always my move on the weekends. Cook it down Saturday, slice it up Sunday, and you've got protein ready to go for days. Works in wraps, over rice, whatever you need.
Slow cooker pulled pork is my go-to for meal prep. Throw it in with some BBQ sauce and it reheats perfect all week. The kids love it on sandwiches or nachos too.
Ground beef tacos are what I do most weeks. Brown the meat, portion it out, then just warm and throw in fresh taco shells when you're ready to eat. Easy and the family never gets tired of it.

I do pulled pork all the time for meal prep. Throw it in the slow cooker Saturday morning and you've got protein for basically any meal you want the next week. Plus my kids actually eat it.
Pork shoulder is your friend. Cheap, feeds a ton of people, and reheats great. Season it good and you don't need much else. I usually do 6-8 servings from one shoulder.
