We get the feeling ground beef isn’t getting the full attention that it deserves. This may be because it has been in the game for a long time and is indisputably an economical option, especially when you buy in bulk, like with our Ground Beef bundles.

It is believed that ground beef came about in the 15th century, sometime between 1401 and 1500, although it was referred to as beef mince at that time. Many accept the idea that Mongolian and Turkic tribes were the first to create this treat, that now makes up roughly 42% of all beef eaten in the United States. Okay, so maybe 42% is not the stat you imagined would be tied to a style of meat that’s “starved for attention” but we’re still convinced it’s time to refresh the world’s love for ground beef and we believe these recipes are up for the challenge.

We bet they’ll change your thoughts on ground beef from “okay” to “gourmet”. Let us know how it goes!
