❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the questions that come up most when you cook with hamburger meat.

Yes. Wrap it tightly or use a freezer bag, squeeze out the air and write the date on it. Frozen ground beef stays safe indefinitely, but it has the best quality if you use it within about 4 months.

In the refrigerator, usually overnight. If you are in a hurry, thaw it in its sealed package in cold water and change the water every 30 minutes, or use the microwave and cook it right away. Never thaw it on the counter.

3 to 4 days in the refrigerator in an airtight container, or 2 to 3 months in the freezer. Get it in the fridge within 2 hours of cooking.

Use a sturdy spatula or a meat chopper and keep breaking it apart as it browns in a hot skillet. Smaller crumbles cook faster and more evenly. Ground beef is done at 160°F.

Ground turkey, ground chicken or ground pork work in most of these recipes. For a meatless version, plant-based crumbles or cooked lentils are good in chili, tacos and sloppy joes.
