Premium Ground Beef Recipe Instructions
Defrost the ground beef in the refrigerator which requires less than 12h. If you are in a hurry simply place the sealed package in cold water. It will take less than 1 hour. Just before you start cooking, remove the meat from the pack and let it oxygenate for 2 - 3 minutes. The color of the meat will change and become more vibrant. Remove the sheet between the patties and shape the meat however you like it.
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. This 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. Give it a try yourself. Cheers!
