'''Ground beef''', '''hamburger''', '''hamburger meat'''(North American English), '''minced beef''' or '''beef mince''' (Commonwealth English; often just generically referred to as [[ground meat|''mince'']] or ''mincemeat'') is [[beef]] that has been finely chopped with a knife or [[meat grinder]] (North American), i.e., mincer or mincing machine (Commonwealth). It is used in many recipes including [[hamburger]]s, [[bolognese sauce]], [[meatloaf]], [[meatballs]], [[kofta]], and [[burrito]]s.

"[[Mincemeat]]" may also refer to a mixture of chopped fruit, distilled spirits, and spices, with or without minced/ground meat, as found in [[mince pie]]s.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Jaron|date=2021-01-12|title=Minced Meat Vs Ground Meat – What's The Difference?|url=https://foodsguy.com/minced-meat-vs-ground-meat/|access-date=2021-07-16|website=Foods Guy|language=en-US}}</ref>
