By the book, that's a dangerous practice.

Ground meat by it's very nature is a way different animal than steak. Many people don't understand this.

It is not so much a factor of temp as it is how much time spent at which temp that guides food safety.


What if I cook it sous vide?

I routinely eat very rare hamburger that is cooked to an internal temp of 132 without a problem.


Even if you cook it in a sous vide to 132 degrees it's still dangerous. You aren't killing bacteria at that temperature. In all actuality it might be worse to cook it in a sous vide to 132 because bacteria love warm temperatures under 140 degrees you could be creating a breeding ground.
