Grinding your own meat

[Sixpence]

I pay an arm and leg for hamburger at the store, and I chomp on pieces of crap in the meat. I'm sick of paying top dollar and getting crap. I have a magic mill assistant and I can purchase a meat grinder for it. I was wondering if anyone else grinds their own meat and the pros and cons.

I dread the responses that this will surely bring...

Go to a decent slaughter or a store that can provide you some good stuff (fresh)

then make youre own burgers using a food processor or simular,
add your favorite flavour, wheter its hot or not.

and mix it with 1 egg, a little water and fry it in the pan.

no fat no stinky feeling and just good old food.

can do that with fish too

It wont take you more than 20 min to finish it actually.

Make sure you keep that equipment clean!

And another thing, if you already have good quality steaks to grind, why not just cook them up as steaks?

Make sure to add something to the venison when you cook it, as the lack of fat will cause it to burn easier.  

Ohh, and FYI, I still have 12 pounds of Buffalo burger in my freezer, will be filling it with moose this November!

Yummy Yummy Yummy!

Probably the easiest way to get good quality hamburger is to buy chuck steak from the butcher and get him to grind it on the spot. Real lean is not good for hamburger as you want around 20% fat or the hamburger will be too dry.

If you want to grind it yourself then buy a Kitchen Aid mixer and get the meat grinder option. This is a commercial strength mixer that has a dough hook and mixing blades and a big aluminium bowl as the standard package. You can attach accessories to it on the front top and the meat grinder is one that is available.

Once you gind the meat remember these few tips. Thin burgers are better than thick ones as it is hard to get the inside the right doneness without overcooking the outside. Also if you overcook at a slow heat the fat will liquify and run out of the burger and it will be dry and crumbley.

Dont eat beef... especially when they feed cows a mixture of , sawdust,concrete chips, and the remains of other processed cows, and cow feces all at a temp hot enough to harbor bacteria.

Saw it on 60 minutes and it grossed me out, the farmer denied interviews of course.

I've gone with ground turkey ever since.
