The best way to thaw ground beef is in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. However, you can quickly thaw ground beef by placing it (packaged or in a sealed bag) in cold water for 2-3 hours, changing the water every 30 minutes. For an even quicker thaw, place the ground beef on a microwave safe plate or bowl, then microwave at 50% power for about 2-3 minutes!

While it’s best to thaw frozen ground beef before cooking into a recipe, it is definitely possible to cook ground beef from frozen! Simply cook it on the skillet, rotating it often and ensuring that it cooks evenly. This method may take a bit longer than cooking with thawed meat, but it’s perfectly safe!
