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.

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.
