My next project will be Lebanon Baloney.

Have looked at may recipies.

The Len Poli version seems pretty straightforward.

It calls for very lean beef, while other recipes have around 20% fat.

For those who have made this, what fat % do you recommend?

Thanks.

This is the one I use. I make it with deer/beef, but I did deer/pork this time and used a binder as I had fat out the first time I tried it with pork. I never used a binder when mixing with beef before. Turned out perfect with pork and the binder this time.

I would say a 20% fat would be good if you want to buy 80/20 beef to make it. I did 14% and it was just fine also. I stay at 145 IT also and sometime 140 IT and consider 152 - 155 IT starting to overcook and dry it out.

If you do beef just sub beef for pork and deer.
