A lot of people do not like the extra fat in their ground beef, so they pick the leaner, or lower fat hamburger from the supermarket. With the extra leanness of the ground beef, comes the extra dryness. With lean ground beef, hamburgers and meatloaf tends to turn out dry and less flavorful. However there is something you can do to moisten up your burgers and meatloaf with out purchasing the fattier ground beef.
Whether you are making hamburgers or a meatloaf, mix in one well beaten egg white for every pound of ground beef. You can also add a pack of dry onion soup mix to your burger, that will also moisten it up a bit. For meatloaf you could also add some cottage cheese or instant potatoes to the center of the loaf, this will moisten it up as well.
Any of these few tips will help to add more juiciness to your burgers and meatloaf made with lean ground beef.
