ground meat

Patty raw material

Ground meat is meat that has been finely chopped or minced, typically by passing it through a grinder.

Beef is the most common variety, but pork, turkey, chicken, and lamb are also widely ground.

The process creates a texture suitable for burgers, meatballs, tacos, and meat sauces.

I need a pound of ground meat for the chili.

Ground meat cooks quickly but spoils faster than whole cuts due to increased surface area.
