Ground Beef Recipes
Old Fashioned Ground Beef Recipes are for the frugal cook who wants easy, delicious dinners every time.
Ground beef is an
excellent choice not only for it's low cost, but because you have a
variety of beef cuts to work with, that will give you superb taste and
dinning pleasure.
Purchase several pounds in bulk, prepare a different dish everyday for a week, and watch your savings grow!
When I buy hamburger meat in bulk, I bring it home and divide it up into about 1 lb. portions to freeze separately.
Then I can thaw as much meat as I need, when I need it, for use in a recipe later.
Make healthy choices!
According to my butcher, the industry standards right now for the percentages of lean are: Regular Ground Beef - 73%, Ground Chuck -80%, and Ground Sirloin, referred to by some companies as "Ground Angus", - 90%. Some Ground Round (probably veal) is as high as 96%.
Veal comes from a young calf and many folks refuse to eat it for that reason. It is purported to be the most tender.
