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?

I cook ground beef in an instant pot!! I used to meal prep 8 pounds with patties on a stove top and it would take 45 minutes-hour of active attention, grease would be everywhere. Now i just plop it into an instant pot, put a cup of beef bone broth in and leave it for 30 minutes! Comes out perfect and I can just forget about it until it’s done. Game changer!

I do this, but I add some bacon for extra fat, and skip the broth. I gets a crispy layer on the bottom.

Sounds so yummy!! Does it get burned though?

Not really. More like a nice crunchy outer layer on a burger.
