Ground Beef Recipes

Ground beef recipes usually involve casseroles, like stroganoffs, or a spaghetti. These kinds of recipes sometimes don't allow you to drain the grease and so a leaner grind is required.

Tips For Making The Best Ground Beef Recipes

You can use 75% to 80% lean ground beef in recipes that you don't want to be greasy. This grade of ground beef is excellent for grilled burgers as the meat is still moist enough to bind, has moderate shrinkage and isn't too greasy for the bbq.

The 80 to 85 percent lean ground beef is excellent for low-calorie diets but because it's less moist than other grades, it's best to add something to the recipe to provide juciness.
