Ground Beef 80% Lean/ 20% Fat
What You Should Know
You’ll find this 80/20 ground beef in the meat case of the grocery store or the family freezer — a go-to for weeknight dinners, backyard burgers, or hearty meat sauces. It gives an indulgent, comforting, slightly nostalgic home-cooking vibe; because the ingredient list is simply "Beef," the texture and flavor come from the meat itself rather than added stabilizers or flavorings, and the minimal mechanical processing aligns it with unprocessed/minimally processed foods rather than ultraprocessed products.
