I am going to be bulking soon. What is an efficient way to cook large amounts of ground beef? Frying it in a skillet one pound at a time is slow, and I usually eat all of whatever I cook.

you have a very interesting issue. maybe try sheet pan baking them if you don't care about flavour?

Why cook it if you can freeze it?

[Anonymous No.12121934]

>>12121818
do you have a slow/pressure cooker? you can make some pretty dank stuff with beef and a grain, like stuffed pepper or beef and barley soup. if you're looking to cook the beef only, you could also just get a bigger pot so you can cook more at a time.

Cook it how? In what? Ground beef is an ingredient, not a meal.

>I just want it cooked so I can microwave it and eat it later

Fry it. Don't gotta do it in batches, just gotta be patient. Don't drain the "water," that's not water. Keep cooking til that evaporates and you have deeply browned crumbles. Not grey, brown. Then you can spice it however you want later.

>I want it as part of something else

Meatballs. Bake them and freeze when cool.

>I have no idea what I'm doing

Cook it as you go. It doesn't take much time. No one is too busy to fry meat in a pan.

efficient as in fast? deep fry or fry in hot oil


efficient as in low effort but slow? bake
or even better, a slow cooker
you're real stupid by the way. This is not a difficult question to answer

I do have a slow cooker. I've never cooked beef in a "pot" as you suggest, only a pan.

Oven baked.
For every kg of mince, throw in an egg, MAYBE some breadcrumbs depends on your macros and whatever spices & herbs you want, mix it all up so you have a giant ball of meat.
At that point you have a few options.
Dump the entire thing into a oiled oven baking dish and spread it out so it's like a big pattie a few inches thick, once it's cooked just slice it up in rectangles.
Split it into rissoles, leave some air between each one and bake them.
Put it into an oiled bread type metal pan and cook it like a meatloaf. optional extra, put some boiled eggs in the middle.
I've done all of these methods, I usually stick to about 180 degrees celsius (350 farenheit) for half an hour for burgers or the big open pattie style and a little bit lower and longer for the meatloaf style, the results are basically the same the difference is in presentation, and having to cut up the meatloaf/big pattie version. You could cook an absolute shitload using this method. A big oven with 3 or 4 racks could easily be used to make 10 pounds worth at a single time.

>Baking a giant patty and cutting it.
That's a great idea.

>keep cooking till water evaporates
I always think this will overcook the meat. Can ground beef get overcooked?

Get a large slow cooker (mine can comfortably fit 2 whole chickens) and make loads of chili. Just go easy on the spice/beans if those make you shit too fast, as you obv. want to be absorbing as much protein + calories as possible.

I used to make meat 'muffins' sometimes, if you use both oven racks you could make a lot in one go. It's just a meatloaf recipe in muffin tins for convenient on the go meat, make sure to include some onion and peppers or corn to keep them moist.

Not sure relying on red meat for the bulk of your protein is a good idea though. Chicken and turkey would be safer for your health, and you can grind those up and sub for beef if you want.

Not cooking it at all. I eat my beef raw mixed with a little soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and green onion. You can eat this with a bowl of rice on the side. I also crack some egg yolks in to add some variety to the flavor

>Fry it. Don't gotta do it in batches, just gotta be patient.

Bad advice.
Yes, you can get ground meat to brown if you cook it for so long that it dries out, but then you have a nasty, firm, texture because you've cooked all the moisture out of the meat.

Do it in batches and it not only takes a lot less time, but you have a juicier more flavorful product. Just because it's brown on the outside doesn't mean it's the same inside.

try it. it gives you much more room to stir it all around without making a mess. sauté some onions first and then cook all the beef your fat ass desires

[Anonymous No.12127193]

I tried this. You will smell bad from all this meat. Dont do it. Eat more eggs.

Trouble is that I don't like hardboiled eggs and don't know how else to cook eggs in bulk.

[Anonymous No.12127290]

>>12127269
Scramble 60 eggs at a time, if you want more calories, add 10 g or so butter per egg to cook. They will last a week or two raw and you could do 10 at a time for breakfast or dinner. For a 10 egg omelette, I would suggest a 10 inch non stick pan. Or maybe even a Japanese omelette pan

[Anonymous No.12127299]

>>12127290
Like, 60 in one pan? Or cook eggs back to back until I reach 60? Gigantic omelettes are a good idea. I could throw some broccoli and hambits in there.

Chili. If browning 1 lb at a time “takes too long” you’re either too impatient to cook at all or your heat is way too low. With chili you can make lbs seasoned with little effort past browning. I’m making 2 lbs tomorrow, just brown, chopped veggies (optional) and powder into a slow cooker
