Buying meat online can be tricky. While you can easily secure the best cuts of steak for juicy grilling at a butcher shop, it's generally harder to identify the best cuts of meat online since you can't physically inspect the slices on display. There's no way to check for the quality of the meat, its marbling, or even signs of spoilage before adding the item to your cart. Fortunately, most digital marketplaces allow customers to leave reviews, which comes in handy when you're browsing the catalogue since products that accumulate numerous positive ratings give some reassurance that it will arrive safe and in good condition. 

Amazon is one of those marketplaces. The e-commerce giant is mostly known for selling digital products and dry goods, but it also has a wide selection of food for sale, including meat; from common cuts of beef, pork, and chicken to more specialty products. Looking through the available options on the platform, we found 10 that stood out based on customer feedback. Whether you're purchasing meat for a simple meal, a weekend barbecue, or to simply stock your freezer, these are all highly-rated meats sold on Amazon that are worth checking out.

Need some meat for your sloppy joes, casserole, or burgers? Amazon's budget-friendly, private-label brand Amazon Grocery has a line of 100% Pure Ground Beef available in 80%, 85%, 90%, and 93% lean. The varying lean-to-fat ratios make it easy to choose which ground beef works best for your specific recipe. For instance, 80% lean beef is the perfect choice for making the juiciest burgers.

Amazon sells ground beef in single, 1-pound packages or in packs of three. Each pound is packed in a roll stock plastic to maintain the freshness of the beef, but it also makes stocking up the freezer easy. It doesn't come as a surprise, then, that the product has racked up positive reviews from thousands of customers. (Each lean-to-fat ratio has its own product page which means they all have their own review score, but they average around 4.6 stars.) "I was hesitant to buy meat from Amazon, but I gave it a try, and everything came fresh and good quality. I like the way this was packaged in individual pounds, so I didn't have to repackage," one review read.

With so many grocery store bacon brands these days, it's hard to choose one. Amazon has several options, but if you need smoked bacon for sandwiches, breakfast plates, or pasta; Amazon Grocery Hickory Smoked Bacon is one many customers say crisps up nicely thanks to its balanced meat and fat content. A full 83% of more than 9,000 customer reviews gave the product 5 stars for an average of 4.7 stars. Many of those who gave it 5 stars said the bacon strips are excellent in terms of flavor, noting that they're not overly salty and taste fresh. 

One review heaped praise on the product and explained what makes the Hickory Smoked Bacon such a delicious meat. "The slices cook up evenly and crisp nicely without shrinking away to nothing in the pan. There's a solid balance of meat to fat, which gives it a good texture — crispy edges with just enough chew in the center when cooked a bit less," the review stated. The next time you need a flavorful, well-textured bacon that cooks up beautifully in the pan or oven, give this Amazon Grocery pick a try.  

Amazon customers have been raving about Jennie-O Ground Turkey Breast, with many agreeing that it's juicier than regular ground turkey.
