What do you prefer to eat. Store bought or make it yourself. There seems to always be a thread about meat grinders size and brands. I have a Cabela`s 1.5 hp. #32 . I grind all of my ground beef using briskets and roast(chuck, shoulder, bottom round or rump). I only buy these items when they are on sale and freeze them until I need hamburger meat. I usually yield about 2.50 per lb. depending on how much fat I have to trim from the briskets. I prefer 80/20. I do not grind my own meat for the savings, I grind it so I know exactly what is in my meat. I trim 110% of the gristle because it ruins my appetite when I bite down on gristle.

I only grind my chili meat. I buy 85/15 patties for cheeseburgers.

You put anything lower than 90/10 in meatloaf and you will have to pour off the grease. I buy my ground beef based on what I plan to cook.

The wife will occasionally buy ground meat if the price is right.
I prefer to grind myself though. It usually ends up being s bit cheaper, and like tpack said, I like knowing exactly what’s in it.

Cant recall the last time I bought ground beef and don't think I have ever ground beef. All our ground meat is venison or venison cut with pork.
Pretty much only eat beef out, or in the form of ribs, brisket, or steak.

I only buy ground beef when it's on sale and when I am out of ground venison, I have 115lbs from this past year, don't think I will be buying any this year.

As for me I'm in the 75/25 range. I know that the more fat,the more you have to pour off BUT fat is where the flavor comes from. So to each his own.

80/20 for the win Cooked over open flame, but in caste iron skillet which I prefer, I go 90 or 93% lean. Otherwise your skillet fills with fat and you get no caramelization.

80/20 for the win Keep in mind that if you buy 80/20 at Brookshire Brothers it means 80% fat and 20% lean. That stuff is greasy with a capital G.
In the end, it's not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years.
