I always take a piece of good paper toweling like Viva and soak up all of the grease out of any ground meats when I cook. The meat companies are all out to make a buck, and there is always that temptation to make more. So instead of tossing out the fat, a lot of times it gets tossed in. I'd rather have them add water since that would just boil off (like you see with a lot of ground beef)
