There are three safe ways to thaw ground beef. You can defrost it in the refrigerator, in water, or by using the microwave. I prefer the refrigerator although it may take longer you don't have to worry about your meat becoming water logged, or cooking prematurely in the microwave. Hope this information helps.

That will depend on what you are planning to make . . .

If you are using it in chili or a meat sauce, you can start cooking it from frozen.

If you want to make a meat loaf or meatballs, then use a microwave oven to thaw it, but make your recipe and cook it right after the ground meat is thawed.

thaw in the fridge for about 2 days. it can be thawed at room temperature but watch carefully so it is used just when thawed so it will not spoil.
