Me too.

And not to be all "beef conspiracy", but I used to drain the fat into a beer can and wait for it to solidify before throwing it out. It never did, mostly water.

Most people drain the "fat" too early when browning ground beef. What they think is fat/grease is mostly water with fat mixed in. If you brown it properly, you will hear the pitch of the sizzling change from a lower rumble when there is still water boiling off to a much higher pitched frying sound when all the water is gone and only the fat remains. You will discover that if you wait for this time to drain the fat, there will be a lot less of it than you thought there was. Most of the time you won't be able to drain what remains because there is so little of it, unless you're using something like 60/40 ground beef or something like it.

Ultimately fat is flavor and a necessity to properly digest and absorb the nutrients from red meat. If you brown it right and leave the fat behind in the meat, you will actually make the whole meal better and have an easier time with the digestion of the meat so leave it in! If people would do this more often and cut out the refined sugars and carbs, we'd all be a lot healthier. Humans are made to eat meat and fat so enjoy it!

I eat a box to myself also, I do drain the meat though if there is a lot of grease. Anyway do you remember the rice hamburger helper. Oriental rice. Mom used to make it for us when i was a kid. I was always looking for it for years but it was discontinued. I found a recipe online that is as far as I can remember exactly like it. If you want I can dig it up and post it for ya.

The other one that I wish would be brought back is zesty Italian.

It tastes exactly as I remember it when mom used to make it, I used lipton onion soup mix. There are other copycat ones but this is in my opinion the best. Give it a try.

You better stop eating tomatoes then. Tomatoes are loaded with MSG. Lots of natural foods are loaded with it. It's not what you think it is. You even have special taste receptors to detect it because it is what gives us the Umami taste (the comfort food feel). We wouldn't have these Umami taste receptors that make us feel good if MSG was bad for us. Think about that.

Maybe ignorance is bliss! But now you got me xurious

yeah, right with you. I hate wasting the fat..do the same thing when i add ground beef to my spaghetti sauce

There are almost 40 megajoules of energy in a kilogram of body fat. Protein and carbs are only half of that. I rather consume fat, higher chance for spontaneous human combustion.

I forget what that clear grease is called but that grease doesn't have much flavor which is why you want to render it out of the cut when cooking. Drain the grease or save it for frying.

Yuuum. My favorite is the "Beef pasta" one. I like to make it even better by pouring in a can of green beans or peas, and corn and stuff. It makes it healthy.

Same here. Sometimes slice up bell peppers or onions too

I eat just the hamburger, if I could, I'd live off tenderloin and red wine.
