At $3.88 a pound it's well worth the price

For years I had been looking for ground beef that was super lean. I found it at our local Wal-Mart. The label lists it as 96/4 and the current price here in Anderson, SC is $3.88 a pound in the 1 pound pack. It's somewhat less per pound for the larger size package. The only store I've been able to find the 96/4 is Wal-Mart. I've used this ground beef in several recipes from Sloppy Joes to meatloaf. When I make meatloaf I used to put it in one of those meatloaf pans with the insert to drain out the grease. I don't need to use this pan with the 96/4 as there isn't any grease draining out. My meatloaf doesn't shrink anymore. My burgers don't shrink either. My son was visiting and he likes Hamburger Helper so I made it for him. On the box it says to brown the ground beef and then drain the grease. With the 96/4 there wasn't any to drain! It's almost like they took lean steak and ground it up. We don't eat red meat that often and when we do, we like it to be as lean as possible.
