Ground beef already formed into patties or separated into smaller quantities take less time and defrost quicker. For instance, 1/2-inch (1.25-cm) ground beef patties that were frozen separately usually take about 10 hours to defrost.
Ground beef that s been defrosted in the fridge can be safely kept for an additional one to two days in the refrigerator before cooking, says the U.S. Department of Agriculture. And since you thawed the ground beef in the fridge, you can also safely refreeze it within that same timeframe, says the USDA.
