Cottage pie,
with sauce Hollandaise (and its variations)
with gravy
in a number of Thai dishes
braised, with veggies (i. e. cabbage, aubergine, zucchini,...)
in fried rice dishes
meatballs
meatloaves
as filling in dumplings or in 'Pau'
...
and yes: tomato, too (lasagne, spaghetti and such)

I've never made mince meat before. Don't know anything about it.
I do like using tomato paste, though. It's very handy, adds some depth. Once I found it in a convenient tube (like toothpaste), I started using it more often.

Tomato based sauce is my most common but I also use pepper based sauces or even just plain beer. Gravy shouldn't be dismissed either.

I keep forgetting our friends from across the pond call Ground Beef, Mince.. Not always. I make hamburgers with it, I make really a lot of different things with it. It depends on the mood and desire.

What type of things do you add to your ground beef?
worldscolide

Well, Sloppy joe mix. Of course spaghetti sauce. Some times i will add onions milk flower, and seasoning to it to make SOS (Shit on a shingle) Basically Toast with hamburger gravy on it.

I might add bread crumbs to it to make meat loaf, or salisbury steak steak. I make chili with it. Taco meat like what @Iron_Man mentioned. Vegetable beef soup. and a few others.

Difficult to explain.

Early and mid-20th century American cookbooks offer plenty of sloppy joe-type recipes, though they go by different names: Toasted Deviled Hamburgers,[3] Chopped Meat Sandwiches,[4] Spanish Hamburgers,[5] Hamburg a la Creole,[6] Beef Mironton,[7] and Minced Beef Spanish Style.[8]
Sloppy joe meat being prepared with Manwich sauce

Marilyn Brown, Director of the Consumer Test Kitchen at H. J. Heinz in Pittsburgh, says their research at the Carnegie Library suggests that the sloppy joe's origins lie with the "loose meat sandwiches" sold in Sioux City, Iowa, in the 1930s and were the creation of a cook named Joe.[9]

References to sloppy joes as sandwiches begin by the 1940s. One example from Ohio is a 1944 Coshocton Tribune ad under the heading "'Good Things to Eat' says 'Sloppy Joes' – 10c – Originated in Cuba – You'll ask for more – The Hamburg Shop" and elsewhere on the same page, "Hap is introducing that new sandwich at The Hamburg Shop – Sloppy Joes – 10c".[10]

The term sloppy joe's had an earlier definition of any cheap restaurant or lunch counter serving cheap food quickly[11] or of a type of casual clothing.[12]

Food companies began producing packaged sloppy joe, in cans with meat,[13] or just the sauce, such as Manwich, by the 1960s.
