QuestionMy Mexican beef chorizo is in a casing. Do I need to remove the casing to crumble it and brown it all the way through? Will there be a lot of fat to drain off?Community AnswerIf you want it crumbly like ground beef or pork, yes, remove the casing. How much fat you'll need to drain will depend heavily on the production method and brand; fresh stuff from a local butcher will have far less fat to pour off than a mass produced chorizo.
