Hi there. I have a couple of questions: 1. Do you use 90% or 80/20 or other blend ground beef? 2. Do you drain your ground beef after cooking? 3. Can you substitute “Tomato Sauce” with Tomato Paste; if so, how much do you recommend?
Thank you. —-Þór (Thor)

Hi,
I would recommend using 85%–90% lean ground beef. You can drain the grease if you prefer, but I usually don’t see too much excess fat when using 90% lean. If it looks like there is too much, I usually just tilt the pan and spoon some of it out.I have never personally used tomato paste for this recipe. I would suggest using tomato sauce if possible, but tomatoes paste work if you dilute it with water first.
