Tips for Making Slow Cooker Recipes with Ground Beef
- Always use lean ground beef. Even though the meat will be cooked and drained before you add it to the slow cooker recipe, it could still be greasy. Plus, using lean beef is healthier and you won’t have as much grease to drain off. Look for a meat-to-fat ratio of 90/10 or 95/5. For more information on ground beef, check out this guide from our friends at AllFreeCasseroleRecipes: Ground Beef Guide: How to Buy, Store, and Cook Beef.
- Season your ground beef when you cook it. Even though you will add the cooked meat to a slow cooker recipe, seasoning the beef with a little salt and pepper will result in a dish that is more flavorful when it’s finished.
- Break apart the beef into small pieces. No one wants to bite into a huge chunk of ground beef in the middle of a casserole. Make sure to break up the beef into small, bite-sized pieces while you’re browning it.
- Don’t let the cooked meat sit in its own grease. Not only will this increase the fat content, it can also give your meat an odd, oily flavor. Be sure to drain the beef right after it is done cooking!
- Use your slow cooker to pre-cook big batch of ground beef. If you love prepping meals ahead of time, then this is a good way to precook a large amount of meat to use in various recipes. Learn how in this tutorial from Momables.com!

My dad makes really good Salisbury steaks and always makes them with a mushroom sauce. It's my favorite comfort food, especially with a side of mashed potatoes!

I love it when my mom makes "pork and beans and hamburger." I'm not sure if there's an actual name for it - that's just what it goes by in our house lol. It's delicious!
