Can You Cook Ground Beef Frozen
So, here's the deal. Frozen ground beef can be just as safe as fresh ground beef, as long as you handle it properly. But, it's gonna take a bit longer to cook, since it's, well, frozen solid.
I found out that the USDA recommends cooking frozen ground beef to an internal temperature of at least 160°F (71°C). That's to make sure any bacteria get killed off. And, let's be real, who wants to eat a burger that's gonna make them sick?
One fun fact I stumbled upon: you can actually cook frozen ground beef in the microwave. Yeah, I know, it sounds weird, but hear me out. You just gotta make sure you're using a microwave-safe dish, and you're cooking it in short bursts, flipping it halfway through.
