Ground meat is meat—beef, pork, or a combination—finely chopped in a meat grinder. It forms the basis of many dishes, including meat patties, meatloaf, Bolognese sauce, chili con carne, kebabs, stuffed peppers, lasagna, and burgers.
The fat ratio affects the result: very lean ground meat with under 10 % fat produces dry patties and burgers. A proportion of 15–20 % fat is often preferred. Freshly ground meat from a butcher may offer advantages over packaged meat.
Ground meat is prone to spoilage and should be used on the day of purchase or frozen. It must be cooked thoroughly, unlike steak.
