How people cook with it
Ground beef is a staple ingredient for many home cooks. It can be formed into patties, mixed into sauces, or used as a filling.
- Burger patties
- Taco filling
- Meatloaf base
- Pasta sauce
When cooking, ground beef should be browned thoroughly, breaking it apart with a spoon or spatula. Drain off any excess fat before incorporating it into other dishes. For recipes like burgers, form the meat into patties and cook them on a grill or in a pan until they reach your desired level of doneness. When making sauces or casseroles, add the browned and drained ground beef to your other ingredients and simmer until flavors meld.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to leaner ground beef, the 15% fat in this 85/15 blend provides a richer flavor and keeps the meat more moist during cooking. This makes it ideal for dishes where juiciness is desired, like burgers and meatloaf, though it will render more fat than leaner options.
Who it is for
Home cooks preparing everyday meals will find this ground beef a convenient choice.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused ground beef in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should be used within one to two days for optimal freshness and safety. For longer storage, freeze the ground beef in its original packaging or a freezer-safe bag.
