I prefer making my own using Lightlife Gimme Lean. It's sold in my produce aisle in a tube casing like sausage. Because it comes unshaped I can use it to make almost anything that usually calls for packed ground beef and I can season it as I like. If I need ground "ground beef" I've started using tempeh.
