I guess I'm the odd man out here, I don't put fat in mine. I don't grind a lot of burger and what I do grind gets used in stuff like chili and spaghetti sauce where you don't really need fat. If you do you can always do like SS said and saute it in olive oil, which is pretty good with spaghetti anyway.
Same here, the only need for fat is to make a burger hold together and we use 1 egg mixed in OR mix a bit of beef burger in with the elk. Most of our ground is used for other stuff and don't want/need the fat.
