There's not really a quick method of defrosting ground meat. If you plan on browning it anyway for tacos or chili, you can just put it in a pot with a little bit of water while it is still frozen and brown it up that way. If your'e making meatloaf or burgers, your'e better off going to the store and buying a fresh pack. Put the frozen meat in the fridge and try again in a day or two when it thaws. I wouldn't reccommend microwaving it.

Answer 4

fill your sink with hot water....poke a hole in the container/wrapper.
Put the meat in the hot water. Let some of the water enter the container. It usually takes about 20 minutes. Or you can always defrost it in your microwave (if you have a microwave).

Answer 5

I put the entire package in my sink and fill it up with lukewarm water. If you put a heavy plate on top, it won't float up. Change the water a few times too. Besides the microwave, that is the only way I know of.

Answer 6

Put it in your microwave and put it on the defrost setting. Or, put it in a sink of warm water.
