another way to use ground meat is to buy the least fatty and take canned black beans, mash them with a fork (you dont want a paste, you want it to look like it has bits in it) and mix half meat half beans and use it as you would ground beef for meat balls, hamburgers, meatloaf - the skins in the beans make it look like cooked meat and the flavor is just the same as burger meat. Its healthier and cheaper, share t
