What it is
This is a package of ground beef, also known as mince. It is made from beef that has been finely chopped or ground. The fat content can vary, affecting its richness and how it cooks.

How people cook with it
Ground beef is a staple in kitchens worldwide, forming the base for countless dishes.
- Burgers
- Tacos
- Meatloaf
- Pasta sauces
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 once it is fully cooked and no longer pink. This browned mince can then be incorporated into various recipes. It is important to cook ground beef thoroughly to ensure it is safe to eat. The process is straightforward and can be done quickly.
How it differs from similar foods
Different grinds of beef mince have varying fat percentages. A leaner grind will result in less fat rendering during cooking and a less rich flavor. A higher fat content, like that often found in standard mince, will yield a more succulent and flavorful result, though it will also produce more drippings.
Who it is for
Home cooks preparing everyday meals will find this a convenient and familiar ingredient.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused ground beef in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should be used within one to two days for optimal freshness and safety. Proper refrigeration is key to maintaining its quality.
