Any kind of ground beef is often referred to as
"hamburger." A recipe calling for hamburger would require ground beef or
beef substitute- not a cheeseburger. Some say the word hamburger comes from Hamburg
steak, which originated in the city of Hamburg Germany. Contrary to what folk
etymology might lead one to believe, there is no ham in a hamburger.
Ground beef or hamburger meat is a ground meat product,
made of beef finely chopped by a meat grinder. It is used in many recipes
including hamburgers, casserolls,
meatloaf, sloppy
Joes, tacos, meat sauces for lasagna and spaghetti bolognese. In the Middle East
it is used to make spicy kofta and meatballs.
