Cook's Tip:  Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed ground beef. Ground beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160ºF. Color is not a reliable indicator of ground beef doneness.

Cook's Tip:  1 cup egg substitute can be substituted for beaten eggs. Omit water. Continue as directed in step 3.
