Got ground beef in the fridge? Let’s put it to good use! From juicy burgers to comforting casseroles and weeknight tacos, ground beef is the ultimate dinner MVP. It’s budget-friendly, fast-cooking, and endlessly versatile, perfect for those “what’s for dinner?” nights when you need something easy and satisfying.
Ground beef and hamburger may seem interchangeable, but per USDA standards, ground beef can contain no added fat, water, extenders, or binders, maximum of 30% fat. Hamburger, however, may have additional beef fat blended in (up to 30%), though still no fillers
Spoiled ground beef usually emits a strong, pungent odor, far more intense than its natural iron scent. If it appears grey on the surface, that alone isn’t a spoilage sign, but combined with a bad smell or sticky texture, you should discard it. Refrigerate promptly to avoid risk.
Crave-worthy classics, everyday inspiration, global bites, healthy swaps, trending dishes, and festive favorites, all in one delicious destination.
