Making Awesome Chili

RE: Making Awesome Chili Post By imaqt1962 (Guest Post) (06/30/2006) i too drain the grease.just can't handle it if not. i also will rinse my ground beef under the tap when i drain it to wash off excess grease. the food still tastes just as good and with my high cholesterol i don't need the grease anyway RE: Making Awesome Chili Post by SusannL (44) | (06/30/2006) Profile | Contact About draining- when I use ground round or ground chuck I don't usually have to drain. There is very little fat. However, I remember going to a gathering where the hostess made sloppy joes. The ground beef wasn't browned and drained, but was cooked in a crock pot with sloppy joe sauce all day, and when they put the sloppy joe mixture on a bun the sauce was swimming in grease. I guess it just depends on the grade of hamburg used.

I wrote it down in the back of one of my recipe card spiral notebooks which I keep the best tips written down on. I am guessing this would be the same for tacos, spaghetti and such too. Just got to make sure I don't drain off the grease before I add the spices.
