Steps:
- Heat oil in a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over high. Add one-quarter (1 lb.) of the ground beef in an even layer, using your hands to break up large pieces and leaving some gaps to encourage browning (instead of steaming). Season with 1 tsp. salt. Cook, undisturbed, until bottom is deeply browned, about 3 minutes. Turn and break into smaller pieces and cook until the other side is browned, 2-3 minutes. Push over to one side of pot. Repeat with another one-quarter (1 lb.) of ground beef, seasoning uncooked meat with 1 tsp. salt. Using a wooden spatula or spoon, break meat into smaller pieces and stir to combine.
- Season remaining 2 lb. beef with 2 tsp. salt, then add to pot and cook over medium heat, stirring often and breaking into small pieces, until all meat is cooked through and most (but not all) of the liquid is evaporated from bottom of pot, 12-15 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
- Do Ahead:
- Ground beef can be made 5 days ahead. Divide among airtight containers and chill, or freeze up to 3 months.

- Stuffed Peppers or Eggplant. Stuff bell peppers or eggplant with a mixture of cooked beef, sautéed onions and garlic, cooked rice or other grains, diced tomatoes, and spices or herbs.
- Larb-Inspired Lettuce Cups. Spoon ground beef into lettuce leaves and serve with a simple dipping sauce along with scallions, mint, basil, and crushed peanuts.
- Hummus Bowls. Reheat beef in a little vegetable oil with a pinch each of cinnamon, coriander, and black pepper. Serve over hummus topped with a lemony tomato salad.
- Pasta, Pasta, Pasta. The simplest version: add cooked meat to gently simmering marinara and stir to combine. Serve. Slightly more interesting version: add meat to a cinnamon-infused tomato sauce, toss with cooked pasta, top with feta, and bake at 350° until heated through, about 10 minutes.
- Meat Pies. Fill squares of store-bought puff pastry with ground beef, sautéed onions and garlic, and the cheese of your choice (cheddar and mozzarella both work well here).
- Enchiladas. Follow our super-fast skillet method for making an enchilada casserole, subbing in cooked ground beef for the shredded chicken. Or, if you have more time, make this version of the real deal with beef instead of pork.
- Loaded Baked Potatoes. Top baked white or sweet potatoes with seasoned beef and a good sprinkling of your favorite cheese. A dollop of sour cream never hurt either.
- Shepherd's Pie. Have leftover mashed potatoes on hand? Sauté some sliced onions and a little garlic, toss in some of the ground beef with a little tomato paste and a dash of Worcestershire, and add a handful of peas.
- Spicy Noodles. Throw two cups of browned beef into this incredibly delicious clear-your-fridge recipe for hot sesame noodles. Hot Sesame Noodles with Scallions and Pork.
- Simple Sloppy Joes. Mix the beef with your favorite barbecue sauce, spoon it onto soft rolls, and call it Sloppy Joes. Feeling fancy? Mix in some sautéed onions.

- To make the meatballs, in a large bowl, mix together soaked Panko, beef, garlic, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. With clean hands, mix the beef mixture until well combined.
- To shape the meatballs, using a medium cookie scoop, shape the meatballs and arrange them on 2 baking sheets, lined with foil, or a silicone mat. (I usually get about 125 1-inch meatballs.) If desired, roll the meatballs between your palms to smooth out the surface.
- At this point, you can either freeze the meatballs raw on a sheet pan and then divide it into freezer bags. Or bake it and then freeze the cooked meatballs for later use, which eliminates the searing step later on.
