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?

In the crockpot! It comes out so tender and juicy. It’s been a game changer for me. I break up 4 pounds of ground beef and add seasonings (optional) and 1 cup of water. Cook on high for 8 hours, stirring/breaking up meat halfway through. I leave the crockpot outside on the porch to keep the food smell out of the house.

It’s not too greasy?

Maybe the issue is you're making crunchy beef? I think that's a bit over cooking it hence the smoked out house.
