Many of us love ground beef because we love hamburgers, tacos, casseroles and just about anything else with beef in it. If you have ever wondered why your beef never seems to get juicy enough then it is probably because you are using prepackaged ground beef. Making your own is so easy and it will make all your food taste better!
What You Need To Do To Make Your Own Ground Beef Is:
According to Meathead Goldwyn , author of upcoming grilling cookbook Meathead:
Get Fresh, Be Clean
“If you just pick up a package of something labeled ground meat, you’re getting the lowest common denominator,” said Goldwyn. The meat can be from scraps from unproductive dairy cattle, can have extra seasonings added, or come from a facility that’s nowhere near the butcher counter you’re browsing. And those factors can affect the food safety and flavor.
Don’t Fear Fat
A chuck steak is widely available, super-affordable, and thanks to its 20% fat content, it has the richness you need for your burger. “If you’re high heat grilling, when fat gets hot, it develops great flavors and aromas,“ said Goldwyn. Fat is what gives even a blend of tough cuts plenty of juiciness.
Happy Grilling & Enjoy!

Unfortunately thats all thats available herr
Are you all becoming the food vanguard of the people???
Enough negative news circulating already.
Many cannot afford otherwise.
Just share recipes and kitchen tips and leave people be!
I’ve never used to have a problem with prepackaged ground round or that which the butcher scoops up and puts in brown paper! However, I realized that the meat in the shop is laying there behind glass where anyone behind the counter can touch it – and also where a fly can get to. Maybe that’s why I only buy prepackaged meat now.
Totally agree! Just give us the recipes. We don’t need this other stuff.
