Hamburger, brown? Need advice about the freshness.?

I took out a pound of hamburger to thaw out yesterday and now it looks all brown and so does the blood. Do you think that it is okay to eat?Hamburger, brown? Need advice about the freshness.?
meat starts to turn brown when it comes into contact with open air and oxygen. i know most people don't believe it and throw away a completely good meat. here's a better explanation:

Yes, as long as it still smells good, it's fine!
If it smells bad, throw it out. If it does not smell bad and the inside of the beef is red, I would suggest frying it up right away!!!
Smell it. If it smells sour then throw it out.
I am a total freak about not getting food poisoning and stuff, if it looks bad, smells bad, it prob tastes bad, I wouldnt eat it....
All meat will turn brown after freezing --- just smell it to make sure.
If you have to ask, I'd probably just toss it. Better safe than sorry. It's just hamburger. Buy a new pack.
i'm not sure, i do know that hot dogs are dyed pink. Or else they would be brown and no one would buy them. So they're apparently edible once dyed, so i'd imagine you can still eat this beef although it's seen better days. If it's thawed out i'd smell it, doesn't smell rotten you're ok.
as long as it was frozen before the use before date and you've had no problems with the freezer...it should be completely fine. That usually happens when I freeze meat in the container it comes and I still use and haven't gotten sick from it. So I think it'll be ok!
i would toss it
The problem is that it was frozen too long, and probably not wrapped properly. It's ';freezer Burn';. The meat will not make you ill, but the flavor won't be as good as it should be, and it will be quite dry. I'd throw it out and buy a new pkg.
If it doesnt smell its fine.
when meat turns brown it is because it has had much exposure to air. it doesnt hav to do with wether it is ok to eat or not. you should smell it. if it smells fine then it is probably ok to eat. but you should also use self judgement and common sense about it. dont eat it if u think it is possibly not ok to eat.
Noooo.... The best meat is always red. The redder, the fresher. That's why when you go to the supermarket, you should always look for the ground meat that is red. Brown means it's old.





Hope this helped! : )
