Also, what's the fat content to the meat you're using?


If you use beef that is too lean, it may come out dry and crumbly.

I use 80/20, mainly because I can't find 20/80.

That's why I asked. There may be more to it than just handling the meat too much.

You can probably find 73/27 which makes it juicy juicy.

My local Winn-Dixie butcher sells packs of "market fresh" ground beef. It's trimmings from all the steak cuts they make. I'm sure its close to the 20/80 you referenced and will kill me shortly, but it makes the most glorious hamburgers......
