It's not breast meat only, we're typically straining the fat. It's 93% lean though so to my mind it's lean enough to skip it sometimes. Like for the crock pot chili I'm making tonight I just tossed it in there with a couple cans of Ro*Tel tomatoes and one can each of black and red beans (thoroughly rinsed), and a bit of extra spices. Am I right to be doing that, or do you think it's still too fatty?
How would you make meatloaf without bread crumbs? Parmesan cheese maybe, like the meatball recipe?
