Step-by-Step Lessons

Start with a pound of ground.

Ground beef is nutritious and an excellent source of protein, zinc and vitamin B12 and a good source of ready-to-use iron.

There are lots of ground beef options from which to choose. This handy chart will help you bring home the best grind for the meal you're making.
Ground Beef Type Best Use
Extra Lean
(10% maximum fat)		 Use in flavour-packed recipes that you don't drain after cooking. Use in meat loaf, cabbage rolls or stuffed peppers.
Lean
(17% maximum fat)		 Canada's No.1 grind is a good all-purpose grind.
Medium
(23% maximum fat)		 Use in recipes where fat drains off while cooking, such as burgers and meatballs, or drain the pan-fried meat.
Regular
(30% maximum fat)		 Brown and drain before adding other ingredients. Use in pasta sauce, casseroles or tacos.
