Yes, you can refreeze ground beef after it has been cooked. Once the freshly cooked beef has cooled to room temperature put it in a container and freeze it immediately.

It will keep for up to 3 months frozen. However once it is frozen, while it is OK to thaw it and reheat it to eat, you should NOT allow it to thaw then refreeze it.

In general the process of cooking food (to boiling point for 10 - 15) minutes will kill any bacteria in the food. Thus if you allow it to cool covered then freeze it immediately it will be largely free of bacteria (there will be some that come form the air after it has cooled) and thus it will keep good to eat for some time.

Anything can be refrozen. Actually no, not everything can be refrozen. Cooked beef can be refrozen, fully cooked, tightly wrapped, and for not more than a month. Uncooked meat can be refrozen if it does not reach room temperature, it must still be very cold or partly frozen.

Sometimes yes but some beef will give you food poisoning

A different answer:

If the beef was frozen then cooked, it may be safely frozen again.

If the beef had been frozen after it was cooked, then thawed, it must be heated thoroughly before being frozen again, to ensure against any possible contamination.

A rule of thumb: There must always be cooking between thawing and refreezing.

If you would want to cook it again, then no! If you freeze meat after it has been cooked then there is a very small chance of there being a parasite within the meat that could harm you. If you have frozen it twice there could be a higher chance of you getting ringworm or tapeworm or if it is chicken then you could get salmonella. If you have already done this, if you experience any strange symptoms at all- headache, stomachache the see your doctor to see if you have caught anything.

No, you can cause more spoilage that way. It's best to just reheat it once and once heated, eat it. What you can't eat you'll have to either throw out or give to your dog or cat.

Yes.Once you have cooked the raw frozen ground beef and brought the meet up to boiling point. You should cover the pot and allow it to cool. Once it is cooled the cooked meet should be frozen immediately and will keep for 4-6 weeks if kept completely frozen.What you should not do is defrost the cooked meet and then refreeze it, so if you are planing to make the cooked beef last several meals then put it into smaller portions before you freeze it.When you defrost the cooked meet to eat it make sure that it is all defrosted and bring it up to boiling point again before serving it.
