We usually get about 95-100 pounds of ground beef when we have our half head of beef processed. We give about forty pounds of it away to the kids, grandkids, brother and his wife, and my nephew every year for Christmas with some steaks and a roast or two. We figure out that about a pound of ground beef average a week is a good amount to keep us going, along with a lot of steaks, roasts, soup bones, and so on so forth.
So we do lots of different things with the ground beef, including making pasties, hamburgers, sloppy joes, meatloaf, Meatballs and gravy, and multiple things like spaghetti, lasagna, and other casseroles. The filet mignon usually goes to make beef stroganoff, and we get quite a few pkgs of sandwich steaks and some cube steaks too. So hamburger is not the only thing we make burger like sandwiches out of.
I like taking out some of the hamburger fried with onions to put into a piece of folded buttered bread when I am cooking ground beef. I can't forget to mention we have tacos or taco salads at least once a month too, that uses a package of burger...two meals for the two of us.
