- Tacos
- Meatloaf
- Pasta sauces
Ground beef can be cooked in many ways. It is often browned in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. The rendered fat can be drained off, depending on the desired richness of the final dish. It can also be formed into patties for grilling or pan-frying, or mixed with other ingredients for dishes like meatloaf or meatballs. Cooking time will vary based on the size and thickness of the meat.
How it differs from similar foods
Ground beef can differ in its lean-to-fat ratio. Higher fat percentages, like 80/20, tend to be more flavorful and moist, while leaner options, such as 90/10, are less so but may be preferred for health reasons. The grind size also affects texture; a coarser grind offers a more distinct bite.
