I prefer using Ground Round in all my recipes that call for ground meat because it is extremely low in fat. But most people find it too dry for hamburgers, hamburger steak, etc. Ground Chuck is a pretty good substitute because you get flavor and enough fat to keep it from being too dry. If you grill the steaks outside, the excess fat will drain out of the meat and that will make it a little less fatty in the end. Any recipe that has mostly solids with not enough added liquid (soup, water, milk, tomato sauce, or other sauce), it would be wise to use Chuck or Sirloin ground meat. Not for health’s sake; but because it my not get eaten if you don’t. If you put fresh or cooked mushrooms, onions and garlic in the recipe, in the sandwich or on the plate, it should counter the bad stuff.
