Employee Benefits.

For safety, the USDA recommends cooking hamburgers and ground beef mixtures such as meat loaf to 160Â°F (70Â°C) on a meat thermometer. For approximate cooking times for use in meal planning, see the following chart compiled from various resources. Cooking times are based on starting with beef at refrigerator temperature (40 Â°F). Remember that appliances and outdoor grills can vary in heat. Use a meat thermometer to check for safe cooking and âdonenessâ of beef.
