Does SUPER LEAN ground beef taste bad or is it just me?

OK...I seasoned my beef and put garlic, onions and parsley in it and put salt and pepper and a little seasoning and it still hardly has much taste other than the vegetables (meat tastes like nothing) and it kind of made me feel a little bad last night.

Does the fat in ground beef make it taste better??

Sadly yes, the taste in meat that we are accustomed too is from the fat. The fat in the meat is actaully what gives it the taste.
