@Kristin251 - Have you tried making a ground lamb, or ground pork hamburger> It could potentially be the grinding/minced nature of the meat processing causing you the issue, a bit like fruit smoothies, or pulp can be trickier than natural, uncooked or unprocessed fruit.
Nice thought and potentially the problem though cheese can do it too if over eaten. That's a lot of the reason I never make smoothies. Scary haha
Re lamb burger. Hm... I adore my roasted rare chops with garlic oil oregano and Sage. No need to mince those beauties. Love them cold ass well.

What I'm asking is if you have made lamb burgers to see if they cause the same rise?

I have had ground lamb burgers ground fresh daily but much fattier than chops and yes, they did cause the same rise.

Do the lamb chops demonstrate the same rise or not? (Sorry to be so granular.)

Nope. Not the chops. Just ground with a higher fat content.

Why does your ground meat have a higher fat content? My butcher grinds the meat I choose, so my ground beef is beef steak, or whatever. Actually, my all of my butcher's ground beef is ground steak, as they supply commercial outlets and care homes too, and the care homes in particular demand that specification.

Alternatively you could grind your own meats to control the content.

They would grind steak for me but this isn't just normal ground beef. Most people like it fatty and not lean.
I would just eat the steak. No need for grinding.
The point I'm trying to make is that it appears the fat content is what's raising me.

I still expect the issue is the grounding process itself. The only way to find out is to buy two lots of meat and get one lot ground.

The only thing that happens when meat is put through mincer / grinder is a increase in temperature of the meat.

This is one of the the reasons that minced / ground beef goes off quicker than normal prepared meat. In the good ol' days SO2 or Sulphur Dioxide powder, mixed together with cold water was added to the meat to prevent this before it became illegal to do do.

The meat also gets a much larger surface area for our digestive juices to act on......

Interesting. But no thanks. Weird ingredients lol. I'll just eat beef haha.

I'm sure CA will be one of the first states to get it. It does sound intriguing
