Pro tip: I was rinsing my ground beef in the sink to "wash off the fat" until my aunt in Daytona saw me do it
So here's the debate I keep having with myself: is draining and rinsing cooked ground beef a money saver or a flavor killer? My aunt watched me rinse a pound of 80/20 in the sink two Sundays ago and just stared at me like I'd slapped her. She said I was pouring the flavor straight down the drain, and honestly my tacos have tasted flat for years. But I did the math and rinsing saves me about 120 calories a serving, plus I use less meat per meal when it's not so greasy. So which side are you on, are you team rinse it, or team keep every drop of that fat?

Honestly this sounds like one of those things where both sides are kinda right but nobody wants to admit it. The fat does carry flavor, sure, but 80/20 is already pretty greasy and rinsing it for tacos isn't some crime against cooking. Sounds like your aunt just has strong feelings about ground beef, which is fair, but a whole stare-down over it feels like a lot.
