Premium Ground Beef Recipe Instructions
Defrost the ground beef in the refrigerator which requires less than 24h. If you are in a hurry simply place the sealed package in cold water. It will take less than 2 hours.
You can use ground beef for a very wide range of recipes. We will be showing you one of our favorite ground beef recipes. Quick and easy cheesy skillet beef pasta. Start with cooking the ground beef on medium heat in the frying pan. Keep splitting the chunks of beef into smaller pieces.
Add diced onions and stir. Next, add one tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, one teaspoon of salt, pepper, garlic powder and two teaspoons of Italian seasoning.
Next, add two cans of tomato sauce. 100% natural diced tomato sauce out of the can works great. Stir well.
Next, comes the main part. The pasta. We recommend fusilli pasta. Use a pasta of your liking. Stir well.
Cover the skillet or fry pan with a lid but leave extra space for the steam to evaporate. The goal is to cook the pasta to the perfect doneness. This process usually takes 10 minutes. Keep checking for doneness.
Once the pasta is ready, sprinkle all-natural cheese. Cheddar cheese is best. Turn off the heat and cover with a lid for another minute and allow the cheese to melt. Mhhh yeah - get the table ready!
Just looking at this picture is mouth-watering. Morgan Ranch ground beef is juicy and of very high quality - we're confident to say this is the best beef available.
Your family and guests will notice the difference right away. Because as you know, there is ground beef and then there is Morgan Ranch ground beef. Give it a try yourself. Cheers!
Customer Reviews
Made Japanese style hamburg using this product. The quality was very good, but there was an odor when cooking that I don't usually detect in other types of beef. My husband liked it very much.
Translated from Japanese: It was delicious and I intended to order it again, but the price has risen by 500 yen and I can't afford it like this. I’m disappointed.
Translated from Japanese: I like Japanese dishes and because I was able to buy safe ground beef, I wanted to try making beef soboro.
It was delicious when I put Japanese pepper fruit in it.
I put it on freshly cooked rice.
☆ It's beautiful if you put roasted eggs on it ☆
After that, because there was unexpectedly a large amount of ground beef and after a long time (I wonder how many years…), I also made omelet. It’s been a long time and I didn’t do too well, but it was delicious.
Translated from Japanese: The hamburger steak, minced meat sauce and meat pie I made were very delicious. Even if you put it in a bowl, it’s not sticky like the meat on the market. I'm waiting for it to be restocked.
Translated from Japanese: I haven't eaten it yet so I don't know about the taste, but I’m a little worried about the dark color.
