Ground beef (or many other types of meat) can be safely thawed in the refrigerator, if you wrap it well.

That will probably take a while to thaw, but it will be a lot of safer. How long will it take to thaw in the fridge?
user
Depending on the temperature, it may take anywhere from 12 hours to 2 days to thaw in the refrigerator.

What happens if I don't thaw meat properly? Will bacteria grow on the meat if it is too warm?
