This is some of the most naturally lean beef you will ever find. and the taste is awesome. However, when you are making hamburgers, this beef, has so little natural fat that it can dry out easily.
So I got a bright idea. I had a pound of bacon that needed to be used... I wanted hamburger so....
I ground the bacon up, mixed it with the ground beef and oh boy! What a burger!
Anyone wanting a burger should try this.... I actually used 1 lbs of each which is pretty heavy bacon but it sure is good!

LOL!
You are right - my husband would love that! He hates the dry lean meat.
Anyway, if your bacon was nitrate and hormone free, then you didn't make a mistake!
You should run by Whole Foods and pick up the thick sliced bacon! That is some good bacon!! There is nothing wrong with eating it once a week - no harm in that!
Have you cooked with Buffalo meat? They make the best burgers!! My husband loves them. I usually cut up an onion and a jalapeno in the mix.
