Keep your wallet fat by grinding your own meat. This method works great with beef, chicken, turkey and pork as well!

Ingredients

  • chicken, pork, beef, turkey or lamb

Instructions

  1. Start out with your cut of meat. Use a knife to remove any bones and to trim away excess fat.
  2. Cut meat into small cubes. The smaller the cube the less the food processor has to work.
  3. Place the cubed meat onto a pan and pop it into the freezer for 15 minutes to firm up. This makes it easier for the meat to be chopped up fine rather than be turned to mush.
  4. Place the cubed meat into the food processor, ½ pound at a time. Pulse 10-15 times, or until the meat is ground fine. The meat should look small with a few slightly bigger chunks of meat here and there. Over-pulsing will produce a mush of a mess, and that’s not good!
  5. Turn the meat out onto a pan and cook according to recipe or package it and freeze it for another day.
