Used to brown my meat in batches, now I just dump it all in at once

I used to spend 15 minutes browning ground beef in small batches for chili, thinking it gave better flavor. Last month I got lazy and dumped 2 pounds in at once, and honestly the texture was fine and it saved time. Am I missing something or does batch browning not matter as much for budget meals?

Doesn't the extra fat just pool the same either way?

nah @the_jennifer, it doesn't quite pool the same way since the fillers used in each spot have different thickness and hold together differently.
