More Things to Do With Ground Beef
Previously, I brought you a round-up of 25 Terrific Recipes to Make with Ground Beef and so many of you found it a convenient post to refer back to, that you asked for an updated list. I've added 23 more recipes from the website here for you to browse through at your convenience.Some are very basic, some are older recipes from back before I even dreamed the sporadic food posts on my little original blog would become a bigger forum. Some recipes you may recognize, some you may have missed or forgotten about, but along with the first series, these should help to give you a well rounded reference point of some more things to do with ground beef, when you're looking for some inspiration. If you missed the first series, visit here to check them out!
Speaking of ground beef... although I don't always specify, for many recipes where I indicate ground beef, I typically use ground chuck, because I think that it's the most flavorful of all the ground beef. Of course it tastes great - it's loaded with fat! Since the fat is rendered out, I use it most often when precooking ground beef for a casserole or skillet dish, and always in my beef hamburgers. Whenever I can get rid of the excess fat, but retain the flavor, I favor ground chuck.
Lesser expensive regular ground beef is also perfectly appropriate for many of those same dishes, so use what your budget will allow. Since the excess fat is being either rendered out, or drained off, most ground beef varieties can be interchanged. Do be aware that some of those may contain lean finely textured beef (LFTB), the controversial pink slime we've all heard about. Some stores are voluntarily labeling their ground beef products to indicate there is "No LFTB," so if you are concerned about it, check the labels for those markings. {Thank you Rouses!}
For dishes that cook from a raw state such as a large meatloaf, I generally prefer a leaner ground beef such as sirloin, which I enhance with finely minced vegetables to help the leaner cut retain moisture. I love ground chuck, and have used it in meatloaf, but it is the higher fat content of the family of ground beef, and I just don't like the idea of my food swimming in all that accumulated fat as it cooks, if I can avoid some of that.
