On How To Cook Ground Beef
- Always use premium grade meat. It is a waste of time and money to purchase the cheap grade as it is mostly fat and you have to add in the process of de-fating and then disposing of the liquidified fat. Urgh!
- Brown the minced meat in a hot pan before adding ingredients, although it is ok to include in this step garlic or onions.
- Meals can be frozen and are delicious later too. I do this frequently with lasagna, meat loaf and chilis.
- If you want a fancy recipe, try out Ground Beef Wellington, which is wrapped in delicate puff pastry.
