Washing all meat is an important first step, but many don't wash ground beef. Once you try this, you'll never go back!

• Ready In: 5 mins
• Serves: 1

Ingredients

•  water
•  paper towels

Directions

1. Place the ground beef in a large bowl.
2. Cover with water (not too hot or meat will start to cook) and break up with hands.
3. Place several thicknesses of papertowels in a colander.
4. Pour out the ground beef into the colander.
5. Taking the edge of the paper towels, press firmly and squeeze out all the water.
