Can I use lean ground beef to make a delicious meal?
You can just know that it won’t have as high-fat content. That isn’t a bad thing, but it does mean that you might need to add some liquid to the simple recipe, like heavy cream, chicken broth, tomato sauce, or a little water.
Lean meat will still make a hearty dish and simple dinner, but you want to be sure that the hamburger meat doesn’t dry out during the cooking process. Liquid with the mix of ground beef helps and is always a great addition.
Another option is to exchange everything for ground turkey. These ground turkey recipes will be a hit for someone looking to cut back on some calories!

What is the best way to cook ground beef?
Heating oil in a large skillet over medium heat is the easiest way, in my opinion. You can easily use a medium high heat as well. This method is the fastest way to cook up ground beef and make certain that it’s all cooked evenly, too.
I like use olive oil as well but you can use other oils just as easily.
