One pound of ground beef is typically equivalent to about 2 to 2.5 cups when packed.

One cup of ground beef typically weighs around 225 grams when raw. To convert 150 grams to cups, you would use the ratio: 150 grams divided by 225 grams per cup, which equals approximately two-thirds of a cup. Therefore, 150 grams of ground beef is roughly two-thirds of a cup.
1 cup = 8 oz = 1/2 pound 2 cups = 16 oz = 1 pound
