I always use 85/15. 93/7 is dry and 80/20 has to much fat. I discovered the difference when I was about 16. My mom was away for a week and my dad took my sister and I grocery shopping. We got the 80/20 ground beef to make hamburgers and nobody liked it. It also had little bits of skin and some bone in it. Not a lot but enough that I found some. To this day if I find that, I cannot eat it...yuck! When mom came home we asked her about it and she explained the difference. I've used 85/15 ever since!

There is no such cut of beef labeled ground beef.  

“Ground beef” is made of different parts of a cow or cows.  Basically it is butchers leftover mystery beef meat, unless you grind yourself a specific part of the cow. 

I don’t eat pre -made ground beef because I don’t know what it is made of.  And also a greater chance of  E Coli from a sick cow(s) mixed in.

Why are you picking on me? I guess I  should have said ground chuck(?) Excuse  me but most people I know say ground beef and so do most recipes. I'm  not an idiot and don't appreciate  the implication or attitude! Please don't  bother replying to my posts anymore.

 @starpolisher  Don't worry, when you post on these forums you are open to attack as I was on the Rachael Ray Forum, when I posted an apology as I was talking about things I had read.  I got to thiking and decided to apologize as I was only going by what the press states.  After that, I got slammed.

@Fiero Woman

 Thank you! I know. I've been on these boards since the beginning and  frankly I'm  tired of the nonsense. It was nice of you to apologize. I have no intentions of doing so. I try to play nice, use just the right words and still, trouble! Well, l for one, will be talking back..at least today! I get tired of biting my tongue.😬 It's just ridiculous!

Why so bitter and full of hate?

So what cut of beef is ground beef?

Don’t bother replying.

The words "ground beef" were used at least four times before my first post. Yet you target me to correct! If you just wanted to make a general statement to clarify the difference fine. But you addressed me and only me. That's why!!!

You'd think a "Ground Chuck!" thread would be safe to just read, but no. 

Too scary.
