How To Cook Ground Beef

Ground beef may be cooked in a variety of ways, but there are a few techniques to keep this kind of meat tastes better.

• When there are no pink parts left in the pan, your ground beef is thoroughly cooked. Per pound of beef, this will take around 7 to 10 minutes.
• Cook the ground beef in a small amount of oil before serving. This will help the ground beef brown evenly and keep it from sticking to the pan.
• Break your meat into big pieces with a spatula or wooden spoon, but don’t mix too much or break into extremely small bits. Because the meat is cut into smaller pieces, more moisture evaporates throughout the cooking process, resulting in steaming meat rather than even browning.

Reasons to Make Ground Beef Recipes

• inexpensive
• easy to cook
• can be used in endless delicious recipes such as meatloaf, hamburgers, keto chili, or zucchini lasagna.
• Ground beef freezes well, so when it’s on sale you can stock up on some high-quality meat.
