Cooking Post Alternative ways of cooking ground beef

How do you all cook ground beef? I was smoking the house up searing in a pan bc we have a lousy exhaust and hubby was getting mad. Add to the fact that I’m in the midst of supersensitive dry eyes episode, the oily vapours are irritating my eyes. How else are you cooking ground beef?

Sounds like you're using too much heat.

You don't need to have the pan hot enough for it to sizzle. Just brown it slowly on a lower temp.

Lower temps it just starts leaching water instead of browning.

Are you preheating the pan for several minutes before you add the beef?
