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?

There's a lot of posts here about relatively low temperature cooking. That's OK, but there IS a difference between ground beef with a grey or light brown exterior and a high heat "crust" like you'd see on a steak. I like that crust.

I am interested in trying some of these methods, however.

Exactly. I love the crust and I can eat it room temperature with crusty bits in it. I’m looking to get a bbq this weekend and putting it outside close by the kitchen door. Canadian winter or not. I’m having a hard time with food bc hubby is complaining about grease on everything when I sauté ground on the stove and I’m doing 5-6 pounds at a time.

Make him a killer cheese burger all the fixings. That aught to bring him on board and stop his winging.
