HELPFUL HINTS
1. Ground beef should be always be bright red. Avoid buying meat with brown or gray patches and always check the sell-by date on the package.
2. Ground beef packages are labeled with a percentage ratio of lean meat to fat. The higher number on the package indicates the lean percentage. For example, if a package is labeled 93/7, it is 93 percent lean. We use 85 to 93 percent lean ground beef in the majority of our recipes. The most leanest require little or no draining when cooked.
3. Ground beef that is 75 percent lean can be cooked, drained, and best used in sides, soups, sloppy joes, barbequed sandwiches, and pizzas.
4. Ground beef that is 85 percent lean or higher can be used for meat loaves, meatballs, and hamburgers. Ground chuck may also be used.
5. Ground beef that is 93 percent lean is best used for low-fat dishes, such as casseroles or main dishes. Ground round or ground sirloin also work well.
6. Refrigerated ground beef should be used within 1 to 2 days of purchase. Ground beef can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months if removed from its original package and wrapped in freezer paper or stored in freezer bags.
7. One of the best ways to avoid freezer burn is to use a vacuum food sealer to remove oxygen before freezing meat.
8. Buy ground beef in bulk. Separate into 1-pound increments and freeze for future use in freezer bags.
9. To thaw frozen ground beef, place meat in the refrigerator the night before. The microwave can be used to defrost the frozen ground beef as well. Never allow frozen meat to thaw at room temperature.
10. Never eat raw ground beef. Make sure it is cooked until no longer pink or the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.
11. To drain excess fat from meat, cook meat until brown. With spatula push meat to one side of pan allowing excess fat to pool at opposite end of pan. Remove fat with a soup spoon and discard.
12. Avoid refreezing meat that has previously been frozen and thawed.
13. Low fat or low sodium products may be used in all recipes.
APPETIZERS
BACON-WRAPPED PATTIES
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a bowl, combine all ingredients except bacon. Mix well. Shape into 8 balls. With a glass cup, flatten balls until 1 1/2 inches thick. Wrap a slice of bacon around the outer edge of each patty and then secure with a toothpick. Bake 40–45 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Makes 8 servings.
BEEFED-UP BEAN DIP
In a frying pan, brown ground beef until meat is no longer pink. Drain if necessary. Add beans, cheese, and tomato sauce to cooked beef. Stir until cheese melts. Add green chiles. Serve with tortilla chips. Makes 6–8 servings.
