Brown-like cooked ground beef.
how much protein is in cooked ground beef and drained per pound?
No, the fat leaves and the beef shrinks.
This is because ground beef comes for various parts of the beef and spoils a lot faster then that of a steak. Steak and other cuts of beef can stay fresh longer because They are from parts of the cow that are known to not be effected by disease as other parts. Which is why ground beef should be cooked sooner rather then later.
Raw beef can be unrefrigerated for the amount of time it takes to get from the store to the home refrigerator. But if the weather is hot and it takes more than 20 minutes, use a cooler with ice to transport the meat. The longer it is unrefrigerated and/or the warmer it gets, the sooner the beef will spoil.It can also be unrefrigerated for the length of time it takes to prepare the meat for cooking.
yes it won't hurt anything to use it if it is already cooked.
