Choosing Ground Beef

Choose your ground meat based on recipe requirements or personal preference. All ground meat is labeled Extra Lean, Lean, Medium or Regular in accordance with guidelines set out by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). These descriptors represent the maximum amount of fat in the package’s contents. Whether beef, pork, chicken, turkey or veal, all packages labelled “Lean” have the same maximum fat content (17%).

• Combine beef, egg, breadcrumbs and cooled bean mixture in a large bowl. To make sliders use your hands to form 1/4 cup (60 mL) of the beef and bean mixture into 14 patties that are about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick and 2 inches (5 cm) wide.
