Do I need to drain the fat

Every time I see a recipe for cooking meat (ground beef, bacon etc) it never says to drain the fat in the recipe. I was always taught to drain the meat and it is habit, but I am unsure if I should do this because it is common knowledge, or if the recipe speaks for itself and I just add the next ingredients to the recipe without draining the fats off.

Hello Noah!

Fat is good on keto so I will say this is a personal preference. Whenever I cook bacon I use a skillet that automatically drains the grease. If I cook hamburgers or taco meat I will only drain IF I didn’t buy organic. Typically if you have to purchase meat that is not organic, buy the leanest one available then drain. If you purchase grass fed/grass finished meat then I would leave the fat in. 🙂
