Fresh Ground Beef
Cook Ground Beef by stir-frying, pan-frying or sautéing.
1.	Browned Ground Beef: Cook in nonstick skillet, using medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes, breaking into small chunks with back of spoon while cooking. Cook until browned and completely cooked. Drain, if necessary. Use in pasta sauce, chili, casseroles, etc., seasoning as desired.
2.	Patties: Combine 1 lb (500 g) ground beef, 1 beaten egg and 1/4 cup (50 mL) dry bread crumbs; season and mix lightly. Shape into four to six, ¾-inch (2 cm) thick patties. Lightly oil pan or grill. Grill, broil or pan-fry using medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes/side until digital rapid-read thermometer inserted sideways into centre of each patty reads at least 160°F (71°C). Patties are completely cooked at 160°F (71°C), regardless of colour.
