About Cooked and drained ground beef
Cooked and drained ground beef is a versatile protein commonly used in a variety of dishes across global cuisines, including tacos, spaghetti sauces, casseroles, and stir-fries. Made by browning ground beef in a skillet and draining off excess fat, this preparation reduces its total fat content, making it a leaner option depending on the beef’s original fat percentage. Ground beef provides a rich source of protein, iron, zinc, and B vitamins, which support muscle growth, energy metabolism, and immune health. However, it can also be high in saturated fat and cholesterol, particularly if a fattier cut is used, which may not align with heart-healthy diets. Choosing lean cuts (90% lean or higher) and practicing portion control can help balance its nutritional value. When combined with fresh vegetables, whole grains, or legumes, cooked and drained ground beef can be part of a nutritious and satisfying meal.
