ground beef

Depends what I'm using it for. If I'm gonna brown the meat first, I could really buy any percentage, because I'm gonna drain off most of the fats anyway.
 
Usually I try not to buy anything with less fat than 15%. Fat gives it flavor and helps the meat stick together when making hamburgers.
 
I mostly brown the beef, and drain the fat; so I try to get the one in the median fat range. That, or the cheapest ground beef on the shelves 😱

My roommate back in Illinois would eat raw ground beef. I thought it was gross, and I'm not sure other people do that.

I think all meat should be ground.

90+% for me. *shrug*

LOL, no. When you brown meat in a frying pan, the fats come out on their own.

I just cooked spaghetti with the 80% lean ground beef I have. yums
got 5lbs of 90% lean in the freezer 😀😀😀
 
I only buy Ground Chuck.
Ground beef tastes nasty.
This is from a web page about beef:

Ground Beef Basics
Keep in mind that these guidelines are according to United States standards. Variations will occur in other countries.

Ground hamburger: Ground from less tender and/or less popular cuts of beef. Generally the butcher reserves trimmings from other meat cuts (excluding innards) to grind into hamburger and ground beef. This means in theory there could be pieces of sirloin, chuck, ribs, or even filet mignon in that package of hamburger. According to USDA standards, hamburger may have fat added, but cannot contain more than 30% fat by weight.

Ground beef: Basically the same as ground hamburger but it cannot have added fat. It cannot contain more than 30% fat by weight.

Specialty ground beef: If the label says it's ground sirloin or ground chuck, then those are the only parts included in the grind. These grinds are typically more expensive and leaner than the all-inclusive ground beef or hamburger. However, buyer beware. Ground sirloin or ground round can conceivably be no leaner than inexpensive ground beef, yet still be properly labeled as long as it doesn't claim to be lean. Don't depend on the cut to define leanness. The following percentages are used as a guideline for specific cuts:

? Ground chuck : 80 to 85 percent lean / 15 to 20 percent fat
? Ground round : 85 to 90 percent lean / 10 to 15 percent fat
? Ground sirloin : 90 to 92 percent lean / 8 to 10 percent fat

Lean ground beef: Must meet the requirements of ground beef but may not contain more than 22 percent fat.

Extra-lean ground beef: Must meet the requirements of ground beef but may not contain more than 15 percent fat.
 
anyone here use TVP??
)texturized vegetable protein)

we use it 50/50 with ground beef, and it doesn't taste too bad in tacos or spaghetti.
