We don't eat a lot of burgers, but enjoy going out for one a few times a year in the US. We never buy or eat ground beef in Mexico due to a severe E.coli infection back in 2008, and when I say 'severe' I mean life-threatening.
This morning at my nearby Tucson Safeway, there was a Manager's Special in the meat dept. The regular $9.99 a pound for ground American Wagyu was marked down to $3.99, sell-by date was today. We always freeze our ground meat into burger portions when we get home, So we took a chance even though we've never bought American Wagyu ground beef before.
Grilled some for lunch today and by far the best burger in years, either side of the border! It had the taste and texture of a burger from a high-end high-priced popular burger joint in Tucson where they sell for $15 bucks.
After we ate lunch mi esposo said, I'm going back down and getting more. He got the last 2 one-pound packages.
We are careful with our diets and my at-home standard burger is one-eighth pound. I serve on dinner rolls and they are more or less a single slider.
