  • Our take on the Ground Beef 80%- 1lb.

    This is a one-pound pack of 80/20 ground beef: 80% lean meat to 20% fat. That ratio is the standard for juicy burgers, meatballs and chili, because the fat bastes the meat as it cooks and keeps it from drying out. Leaner grinds (90/10 and up) suit tacos and sauces where you drain the fat, but they come out drier in patties. The 80/20 grind is the common choice for backyard burgers and hearty pasta sauces.

    Cons
    • 20% fat means more grease to drain in sauces

    • One pound is small for feeding a crowd
    • Ground beef should be cooked through, so no rare burgers

    Questions and answers

    Is 80/20 good for burgers?
    Yes. The 20% fat keeps patties juicy and helps them brown. Handle them gently and cook to 160°F.
    Should I drain the fat?
    For chili and sauces, spoon off most of the excess fat after browning. For burgers, leave it in; it bastes the meat.
    How does it compare with 90/10?
    80/20 is juicier and more flavorful; 90/10 is leaner and drier but suits tacos and dishes where you drain the fat.
    How much does one pound make?
    About four quarter-pound burgers, or three to four servings in a sauce or chili.
    How should I store and cook it?
    Keep it refrigerated and use within a day or two of opening, or freeze it. Cook ground beef thoroughly to 160°F.
