Product ReviewsBeef, Ground - 1 lb - 55% Lean with beef heart

Lifesaver

I eat this almost everyday and love it. It’s nice to have a liver-free organ blend. Not because I don’t like liver, but I don’t want to overdo it by eating it everyday. The only thing I would change is increasing the meat content to 80%. All of the fat just cooks off and makes me sad.

Well worth it

If you've only been consuming commercially grown beef for as long as you can remember then you'll be blown away after eating this. You're taste buds will explode with the flavor of this beef. I let my 2 boys give it a try after I had my patty and after the first bite I asked how is it......They didn't say a word but just kept on eating and after said....That's what we want for now on!

Loved it!

I'm trying carnivore and want to incorporate more organ meat into my diet. Eating more nose to tail of the animal has been a long time wish actually. This stuff is great! Taste and texture was great! Even the wife loved it, and she couldn't even swallow the other organ meat burger mix.

Bought for Keto diet, it's quite delicious

Seasoned with salt and pepper and fried in a pan. Obviously with the fat content there will be quite a bit of grease, but I eat mine medium rare so it wasn't that bad. Served with a couple of eggs and scarfed it down. Taste was excellent and looking forward to having more tomorrow.

Best burger meat ever!

I've been ordering this consistently for two years now, so it's about time I review it.

Like most red blooded Americans, I love a good burger. This is by far and away my favorite burger meat, and is one of my favorite products this site offers.

It's got a lot of fat so will flame up on the grill more than leaner burgers but it's oh so good.

I can't recommend this product enough.

Much of it unchewable

I've finally gotten through most the ground beef with heart and 55% keto ground beef. I had it frozen in small portions, though rarely wanted to prepare it due to the fact that much of the fat content consisted of hard, unchewable bits. I cooked it more lightly and had the same problem. It wasn't enjoyable to eat, I won't be ordering again.

Great way to eat organ meat

I am doing the carnivore challenge this month and needed to incorporate organ meat, but i dont care for the flavor of it. Ordered this ground beef and organ meat, and with some seasoning this makes awesome carnivore chaffel burgers. Will definitely buy more of this.

Robust flavor!

I'm a big fan I love the taste and I feel great. I eat it pre workout and I'm ready to lift weights.

Decent

This ground beef is decent overall. It is nice and fatty, and it is a decent way to get some organs into your diet, without the usual overpowering taste. However, I didn't get that "healthy" feeling that I usually do when consuming something that my body really likes. I might give it another chance.

Unchewable Gristly Bits

Great flavor but the texture left much to be desired as it had lots of unchewable gristle in it.

*From USWM -- We're very sorry for your disappointment. Please note that if a bit rare, or even a bit over-cooked the "beef heart" component of this product can result in chewy bits, and especially so to the sensitive palate.

Delicious! Who knew?

I admit that I approached this item with a bit of fear, not having eaten heart before. No need whatsoever! I found it tender and more richly flavorful than straight beef. Nothing funky - in fact, so yummy It needed no condiment. (Sauteed gently in salt/pepper only to MedRare it did render a great deal of fat, which I strained to reserve.)

I will happily make this a regular part of my menu. I am also encouraged/emboldened to try the Beef Head Cheese.

Enjoy!

Full of heart!

This is a keto favorite of mine. The flavor of this heart burger *beats* the other keto burger.

Luscious Bolognese

I made a large batch of beef-mushroom bolognese to serve on spaghetti squash. I used 1 lb of this product plus 1 lb of the 85/15 ground beef. We absolutely loved. The addition of the heart was subtle and mild; the added umami from the heart was an undercurrent of flavor that we just loved. Give it a try with fresh or canned tomatoes, garlic, onion, oregano, basil, and fresh creminis. This was a crowd pleaser at our house.

Disappointed

I was really disappointed in this product. We add all kinds of organ meats to our hamburger meat and thought this would be easier. When we used it a few different times it has large and small shards of bone in it. Please be careful when eating it. The flavor was good but what a let down.

makes delicious burgers!

I loved this so much. I can't tell the difference between with or without the heart, so for those who have trouble eating organ meats, this is pretty good. Love the amount of fat in this. Once I'm done with the burgers, I save all the fat/tallow for some veggies or eggs

"Best hamburger I've had in a long time"

That's what my husband said when he ate the burgers I made with this. I wasn't prepared for such enthusiasm from him, which is why I'm bothering to write a review. I mixed a pound of 75% ground beef with a pound of this 55% with beef heart ground beef, added some sea salt, pepper, and powdered garlic. Mmmm! Make sure you cook it in a pan, not over a grill.... we ended up with a lot of tallow. I haven't figured out how to cook burgers so the fat stays inside. No matter, I love having the tallow to stir into some steamed veggies.

best way to sneak in organ meats!

I love this ground beef mixed with ground heart! It is so tasty and I know it's full of amazing nutrients thanks to the beef heart mixed in. I hope you'll come out with leaner blends mixed with heart or even sell pre-ground beef heart separately so I can mix my own. I tend to prefer 85% because so much of the fat cooks out in this blend leaving a much smaller patty than when in the raw form.

Fantastic!

These made some of the tastiest burgers I've had in a long time. No difference in taste with the added heart. Very juicy even when cook well done! My only question is, with so much of the content being fat, what is the best way to prepare this without burning off a large portion of the patty? My 1/4 patty was less than half the size by the end of the cooking.
Otherwise, great product!

Good, but...

1lb raw = less than 1/2lb pan-cooked with the rest rendered out as liquid fat, and no way could you ever grill these without a huge grease fire. Tasty though.

I used this in a marinara meat sauce and the meat was very moist and incredibly rich in flavor.

This made the most delicious, moist hamburgers! You can't even taste the heart, and yet you're getting good nutrition from it! Yay! I will be definitely placing another, larger order soon! =)

This seems to have a fuller flavor compared to the regular keto ground beef and a cooked patty holds together better.

Perfect

Delicious! I don't even taste the heart. I normally eat 150-200g of fat/day as part of a ketogenic diet ($ <20g of carbs), and this ground beef is perfect so I don't have to supplement my meals with so much tallow/lard/ghee. Definitely recommend.
