You may be underestimating the speed with which you can make a meal using ground meat. Giniling recipes, in particular, may be the underrated recipes you should be making more often!Â
How do you make a fast giniling recipe?Â
What makes any giniling recipe fast and easy to cook for any meal, at any time of the day is the fact that the ingredients are really quite simple and each one cooks fast on its own. All ground meat has this universal quality: it’s been chopped up to tiny pieces, making it cook faster while skipping the need to tenderize it. Ground pork and ground beef don’t need to become tender since each piece is tiny enough to be chewed without any difficulty.  Â
These ground meat recipes, or giniling, are just as delicious using your favorite type of meat so this recipe takes its cue from a basic recipe and makes each one a little different. It can even become simpler but each is nonetheless just as tasty. These are all so fast and easy, it’s a great idea to make for breakfast or dinner whenever you’re in a rush to put something on the table.Â

There is a good reason why ground meat or giniling recipes should be prized over its chunkier versions in busy households. Using ground meat is only more economical for your limited time, it is also an equally hearty and delicious meat cut substitute for many recipes. Just imagine all the easy recipes you can make if only you changed the meat cut from chunks of meat to ground meat.Â
Menudo, mechado, caldereta, and even nilaga recipes can be tweaked to be cooked faster if you used ground meat instead. Plus, pre-made marinades and sauces can speed up the process further.Â
All you have to do to make this change is to ask yourself this: Do you really need the meat to be in large chunks or can you make do with the meat pieces in much smaller chunks? Make faster meals and feed you and your family quicker with the same amount of flavor and heartiness.Â
