Fearful of buying their processed meat

I have been buying ground meat from the Mt Nebo Sams Club ever since they opened, usually the leanest they offered. I had to settle for 88/12 this last time (July 2023). It was gummy and hard to work with and had no flavor in the burgers I made. The second time I tried breaking up the meat and sautéing with various spices and flavorings. Again I felt I was adding these flavorings to tasteless meat. I was advised to discard the rest of it by my family because they felt something wrong had occurred in processing. Now I am shy to buy anything processed in their meat department and have lost 30 dollars.

Not anymore!

The burger used to have great flavor and didn't shrink hardly at all when making hamburgers. Something is off now. Hardly any flavor and meat shrinks! Also, I divide it into 1 lb. packages for the freezer and noticed the weight was not accurate and I am getting shorted anywhere from 4 to 6 oz. So they are weighing the meat AFTER it has been packaged!! So when you are paying almost $6.00 a pound and getting ripped off $1.50 per package x how many people? Sam's seems to be doing this a lot lately. I won't be renewing my membership. They are selling outdated food, lying about weights on meat and prices have skyrocket at this store!!

Great for making hamburger patties for the grill

I buy this and use my LEM hamburger press to make patties for freezing. These are so much better than the frozen bagged patties!!! I was looking at Sam's online and noticed that the ad shows a package of the 90/10 ground beef and says priced per pound and the cost was **.** dollars... hmmmm very expensive , but when you go to the item it shows *.** dollars per pound, almost 8 times the actual cost. Someone goofed! lol

Reviews Can Be Confusing

I personally had no issues with the meat. I was a bit conflicted on trying it because of all of the bad reviews, but I needed a good amount of ground beef to make my dinners for the next couple of weeks, so I took a chance. I would definitely purchase again because I had no issues with the cooking or taste (besides what I thought was an excess of fat for what I thought I was getting).

extra fatty

We usually buy the 90/10 but this was all they had. It was extremely fatty and had an off taste to it. Will not buy this again. Even tried making a meatloaf but while mixing it had a lot of grease on my hands, it shrunk alot while cooking, and had an off taste. Would not recommend to anyone.

This is fantastic beef!

I had my husband pickup a package of this ground beef. Opened the package and smelled it and it smell so clean, not setting in a lot of blood. Made hamburgers and the smell of them cooking reminded me of the great beef I had growing up as a kid. Now, the taste was the best I have had in many, many years. It was a 90/10 beef and cooking it had just a minimum amount of fat, just enough to sear it and cook the meat. I do hope that where they get their ground meat from they keep them! My husband is still raving about a simple hamburger. Price per pound was also great. I have tried every store ground beef available and finally a good ground beef! Thx

Changed for the worse

I have bought this 90/10 ground beef for many years and have always been happy with it until the last few times. They have started adding more fat. I thought it might be my imagination but I found an older packet in the freezer and it was as I remembered it with almost no oil left to drain after browning. Looking elsewhere.

Excellent in My town

I have been cooking for 40 years. Always have been on a quest to buy the best tasting ground beef. I was buying it from a small grocery store who sold extra lean for years. They stopped and so I tried some from Sam’s. It is even better and I am thoroughly pleased. It has been consistent for two years in Paducah! Don’t ever change it.

Good for making beef jerky

I have never used hamburger for anything other then beef jerky. I use a lot of spices in my jerky so I don't know how a hamburger would taste. What I can say about this ground beef is that there does seem to be a lot of fat in it. This is the main thing I'm looking for in jerky meat aside from freshness and no foreign objects being in it. I used to use ground sirloin for my jerky which was cost around $6 per pound.

Verified Purchase

Ground beef

Sam's Club needs to sell 80% ground beef. Not enough fat for burgers.
