Today, I made chili using cheap, fatty ground beef. I spooned out all of
the beef fat I could, but instead of just using the dry ground beef, I added
a hearty dose of extra light olive oil. It altered the taste a bit, not
better or worse, but different. The consistency, however, was greatly
enhanced. Next time I'm going to do the same thing, but also add a little
butter. Anyone else replace the fat in ground beef with something more
healthful or flavorful?

why would you remove that healthy beef fat? do some research.
