I hate touching ground meat. But it is easier to use my hands to “crumble” it into the pan then to take up time standing at the stove “chopping” it up. I decided to give myself a head start. This helps get the meat broken up when it hits the pan.  I am sure I am not the ONLY one to have thought of it.  But, I wish I would have thought about this sooner.  Or more accurately, I wish I would remember this every time I deal with ground meat. I open the package and make slices in it. Hopefully posting this will help me remember this method.

I know they have those meat/chopper-in the pan things, but I have enough utensils.  Do you have one of those?  Do you crumble into the pan or use something to break it up while it is in the pan?
