When cooking ground beef, it is important to ensure it is browned thoroughly. You can drain off excess fat after cooking, especially if you are using a blend with a higher fat content. It can be seasoned with a variety of herbs and spices to complement different dishes. For recipes like meatloaf or meatballs, it is often mixed with binders such as breadcrumbs and eggs before shaping and cooking.

Ground beef varies in its fat-to-lean ratio. A higher fat percentage, like 80/20, will yield a richer flavor and juicier result, while leaner options, such as 90/10, will have less fat and a more pronounced beefy taste. The grind size can also differ, impacting texture.
