Burger-meisters say that if you want to make a great burger, you should start with 80/20 ground beef. Of course, we recommend this one-pound package of Trader Joe’s 80% lean, 20% fat Ground Beef from our refrigerators... While you can surely find ground beef with different lean/fat ratios (we also sell 90/10 and 85/15), experts claim that 20% is just the right amount of fat for a moist, juicy burger. The fat renders (or melts down) as the burger cooks on your hot grill or in your skillet, ensuring you don’t end up with a dry puck of a patty! Our Ground Beef is sourced from a number of countries renowned for their excellent beef production, including Australia, New Zealand, and the United States—and it’s processed and inspected in the U.S. to ensure only the best quality.
