Sprouts grinds their own very nice lean chicken breast, but it is so blah in tacos & things. I miss the "beefy" flavor. Have any of you ever tried adding a little beef base like Better Than Boullion to it?

Yes. Beef is Beef...
While I love chicken, there is nothing like that taste of beef. (And are you sure you getting real ground chicken?). I would definitely add some chopped up beef and probably some pork too to get the taste you are after.
Life is short. Live.

I'd probably be better off just buying the 93 pct lean ground beef

Melissa, my Japanese Sketti & Meatballs fushion could be made with a
beef stock/broth. You could also add some Worcestershire sauce and beef base to make a good ground chicken taste more "beefy."
The boiling/simmering method is pretty foolproof.
Oh, and you could add some button mushrooms to make ground chicken that tastes like beef meatballs/meatloaf.

Have you tried larb? It's a good way to get a flavorful meal out of ground poultry. NT

This is T&T and really tasty- and fun too

3 green Thai chilies, chopped finely
3 T sesame oil
1 T oyster sauce
1 T fish sauce

1/3 c fresh basil, chopped
2 limes- juiced

If I need to type anything much I get up & go turn on the laptop.
The bulb in my Verilux floor lamp is burned out & I need to order one as I can't find one around here. With the bad light in here I can't see what I've typed.
