    Thats about right..I love the stuff, actually used some yesterday for my famous cheat bacon chessburgers!!!Football season.
    take a lb or less mix with a tablespoon of minched garlic, tablespoon of no salt greek seasoning and bbq. add prcooked bacon and a slab of sharp chedar cheese(or perfered) with all the fixings and enjoy......almost as orgasmic as sex!!

    I got some 90/10 today. But I wouldn't go less than this. I am gonna throw it onto George Forman and try reduce fat content as much as possible.

    Just go with something a little lower and then boil the beef or place on a george foreman. Really helps reduce the fat content
