What it is

The specific ratio of pork to beef is designed to enhance the overall taste and juiciness of dishes. It is typically sold fresh and requires proper cooking before consumption.
How people cook with it
This ground meat blend is versatile for many savory dishes. It works well in both quick weeknight meals and more elaborate weekend cooking projects.
- Burgers
- Meatloaf
- Tacos
- Pasta sauces
When cooking with this ground blend, ensure it is thoroughly cooked through to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). It can be browned in a skillet for sauces or crumbled for fillings. For burgers, form patties and cook on a grill or stovetop until no pink remains. It also holds its shape well when formed into meatloaves or meatballs. Drain excess fat after browning for a leaner result.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to 100% beef, the addition of pork introduces a different fat content and a slightly sweeter, milder flavor. The Angus beef component contributes a robust, beefy taste. This blend often results in a more tender and moist final product than some leaner ground beef options.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a flavorful and moist ground meat option for everyday meals.
How to keep the rest
Refrigerate any unused portion of this ground meat blend immediately after opening the package. Store it in a sealed container or wrap it tightly to prevent spoilage and cross-contamination. It is best used within one to two days of purchase or before the sell-by date.
