The Cut
Why This Cut Works
85% lean ground beef works well here because it adds enough richness to keep the dish moist and flavorful, especially in baked recipes.
Chef Tip
Use medium-high heat to build color on 85% lean ground beef, then drain only if needed so you keep the flavor that helps the dish feel rich.
