Ground beef can be cooked in a variety of ways. It is often browned in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up 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 baking, or mixed with other ingredients for dishes like meatloaf or meatballs. Ensure it is cooked thoroughly before serving.
How it differs from similar foods
Ground beef varies in its fat-to-lean ratio. Higher fat percentages, like 80/20, tend to be more flavorful and moist but can render more fat. Leaner grinds, such as 90/10, are firmer and absorb flavors differently, often preferred for lighter dishes.
