How is this for lunch? A loaded cheddar and bacon burger. Air Fried to the ultimate perfection.

I never knew making burgers could be so easy. And since, I have two teens, who are always looking for food, these are great because they are really filing.

Some Information for Ground Beef-

Americans each consume about 800 burgers every year! Wow. I never would have thought it was that much.

Everyone uses ground beef, at least once per week in their cooking, whether air frying, grilling, or just in a skillet.  I thought it was a great time to talk about how to purchase ground beef, what to look for, and some pointers.

• What is Ground Beef?     Ground beef is actually a combination of beef cuts. It usually is a combination of chuck, round, and sirloin.  Some grocery stores label them, as such some do not. I usually look at the label, before I purchase it. I like to know what I am eating, as it helps me prepare the ground beef.
• Always purchase ground meat that is bright, bright red. Any ground beef that is gray or brown, indicates that it is older.
• If you are looking to save money on ground beef, opt for a family pack. It is generally cheaper than smaller portions.
• Look for a tightly wrapped package of meat, avoid a package with loose plastic wrap or a tear. Never package any meat product with a tear, as it is not sterile.
• Here are some guidelines for purchasing ground beef due to leanness:
  • Not less than 73% lean-This is normal just labeled ground beef. This meat is good for chilis, soups, sloppy joes, and pizzas.
  • Not less than 80% lean-This meat is used best in meat loves, meatballs and hamburgers
  • Not less than 85% lean-This is best used in casseroles
