🍔 Ever wonder why some hamburger shrinks so much when cooking?
It usually comes down to fat content!
Higher fat ground beef:
✔️ More flavor
✔️ More juice
✔️ More shrink during cooking
Leaner beef:
✔️ Less grease
✔️ Less shrink
✔️ Slightly firmer texture
There’s no “wrong” choice — it just depends what you’re making 👏
