All Natural 80/20 Ground Beef Chuck vs 93% Lean Ground Beef

Buy the 80/20 chuck for burgers, meatballs, chili and anything where juiciness and beefy flavor matter most. Buy the 93/7 lean for tacos, pasta sauce, stuffed peppers and everyday meals where you want less fat and fewer calories. Both are 1 lb fresh all-natural trays with no artificial ingredients and the same 4.5 rating, so the real difference is fat content, not quality. Owners of the 80/20 praise the flavor but note heavy shrinkage and grease; owners of the 93/7 like the lean macros but say it dries out if overcooked.

• Choose the 80/20 ground chuck if you want a juicy, flavorful grind for burgers, meatloaf or chili and don't mind draining fat.
• Choose the 93/7 lean ground beef if you're watching fat and calories and want a versatile grind for tacos, sauces and meal prep.
