Would you buy cooked ground beef at the grocery store.?

I have never seen this before.

    Seems people would buy anything for convenience - look at all those meals ready to eat in stores.
    Me, negative on the precooked ground beef. Besides, I think the aroma of sauteing ground beef with a bit of onion and garlic to be one of life's small pleasures.

      Very true!

      As to the original question, Good Lord, no! I can tell the difference between freshly cooked ground meat and not, and it is not a good difference. I also cook with ground bison almost exclusively.

      I don't recall ever seeing it in the stores I shop at. However, I know I would definitely not buy it if was available to me.

        This is what most of the fast food and quick serve restaurants use now, because it's safer than raw. Only thing is they often add soy to bulk it up, but it's great for a quick taco or pizza topping. Guess it's entering the mainstream, it's been around for years.
