So before I got serious about dieting I used 73/27 ground beef which is of course very high in fat. Ever since then, I always use either 93/7 ground beef or ground turkey. However, I still have a package of 73/27 left and I dont know what to do with it. Is there anyway like if you rinse it out after browning it that it will lose some of the fat in it?

Thanks

    Try making some grilled burgers that are about 2 to 3 oz in size. Using the grill is really the healthiest way to cook it and get alot of the fat out. Browning it in the pan just cooks it in its own fat and thats not good at all. Good luck

    Yup - brown it, drain it and place in a collander, rinse with hot water. Best used in soup or chili or a dish with lots of flavor because, in my opinion, rinsing takes a lot of the flavor out. Works great in spagetti too - not sure you would record the beef though. I know it takes most of the fat out. Good luck and enjoy! - Google "making regular ground beef low fat" also for ideas :flowerforyou:

    If you use it in a dish that has "good carbs" from veggies, beans - such as a soup or stew, the fat is actually good for you.

    Fats that are naturally occurring in meats (aka saturated fats) are not bad for you.

    Yes but the leaner has less calories. :)
