How people cook with it

To cook ground beef, it is typically browned in a skillet over medium-high heat. Break up the meat with a spoon as it cooks to ensure even browning. Drain off any excess fat after cooking, especially if you are using a fattier blend. It can then be incorporated into sauces, used as a filling, or formed into patties for grilling or pan-frying. The cooking time will vary depending on the quantity and how finely it is broken up.
