I buy this beef frequently. I buy 80/20. The tube I bought in early August was extremely dry. I had to add fat to cook it. The taste was string and gamey. The color of the meat was very dark. We ate it because I am sure it won't hurt us and I don't like wasting food. Last week I bought another tube. The meat is lighter in color and I'm hoping the taste is better and there is actually some fat in this meat.

DISGUSTING - Bought on the 18th and these images are what I got, the last 2 times I went back to Sams the beef chubs have changed and no longer look right. I always bought this ground beef when I went to sams club but won't purchase it anymore, in fact it was really the only reason for having a club membership over other warehouse stores. Are other people noticing this? What have they done? Huge chunks of fat, silver skin, and grissle. It's disgusting to look at and it the texture and taste matches - DISGUSTING threw it away! Sams Club what happened?

This 80/20 ground beef (ground chuck) is considered to be the best for making hamburgers. If ground beef is advertised as being ground chuck, the fat also has to be chuck. Other ground beef products might have some ground chuck but can contain almost any mixed beef and fat content including what is referred to as pink slime which can legally be called ground beef. Lean doesn't mean that the meat is great tasting or high quality. I think the main use of using the word lean is to trick the consumer.

The problem buying from sams is they use different supplier’s corporate runs the store they use at least 4 venders 1 out of 4 is good 1supplier is horrible taste like cardboard ground up in it I bought a lot of beef in the 22 years not no more if they get it together I might try agin

The 80%/20% Ground Chuck is very good ground beef and a very good value. We divide the ten-pound log into one-pound portions and bag them with Ziploc bags. The beef freezes and thaws well. It's good in hamburgers, meat loaf, soups, and more. Wonderful flavor and texture.

I recently purchased this 80/20 ground beef chub as I have many times. I do not know what has happened to Sam's Club meat department in Mansfield, Texas and how sanitary they are now. After cooking and consuming this ground beef the first bite I felt something in my mouth that was not right. I immediately spit out a most gross something that I do not know what it was, and I do not mean a piece of plastic or something that I would recognize. This gross thing was about 1 1/2 inches long and about half that wide and obviously did not go through a meat grinder. In other words, it was added to this meat after it was ground and during packaging. Either someone is not sanitary in packaging, or maybe it was intentional, I do not know. Never again will I purchase any beef product in this club.

I bought a tube of the 20% - 80% ground beef today. Made a big patty & tossed it on the grill.  VERY Disappointing!  My 1 burger had 5 chunks of bone in it and the flavor wasn't much either.  Normally Sam's meat is at least about normal quality.  Now I have 9.5 lbs. of dog food, I wouldn't serve it to anyone I know.

My family loves this ground beef. My issue is we purchased a roll that was just over 10lbs per the label. However, I weight them out and vacuum seal. I measure them into 1lb packages. When I was done we had just under 8lbs. I could see if it was 1/2lb or less but not 2lbs-that's over $10!!!!! Will be paying way more attention to the weight discrepancy in the future.

So I bought a pkg that showed 10.2 pounds of 80/20. I cooked the whole pkg and packaged it in one pound packages to freeze. Out of that 10.02 lb pkg I only got 7 pounds of cooked beef. I even weighed the grease that cooked off of it and it only accounted for a half pound. So there was no way that pkg could have been 10.02 pounds. They are either intentionally mislabeling their meat or they have very faulty weighing equipment. Not happy that with beef so expensive already they are overcharging their customers.

So, thankfully, sams refunded us in 5 to 7 days, but be careful. i got a roll and cut to put in the freezer as always. 3 days later, i took a pound out, and it thawed brown. i thought maybe i left it out to long but then i realized the smell was foul on even the frozen ones. i cut them but really never sniffed so i would suggest you be careful
