does anybody do this? I received a meat grinder for christmas (an attachment to my kitchen aid), and YES! I love it!

I have so far only ground my own beef for burgers. What a difference in taste!

Any good recipes out there? Or other ideas what to grind?

    I grind my chicken and turkey meat. I love breakfast patties made from that. Just add powdered garlic and any spices you like and voila!

    If you don't have a grinder, you can just use a food processor. I try to grind everything myself, when possible, but then again, when I go to a good butcher, they can do it for me. It's part of their job. :wink:

    I have samson juicer that can grind meat, make noodle and can juice wheatgrass.
    I ground chicken breast. It's way cheaper than buy ground turkey and less fat.

    Make your own sausages!!!! That would require the appropriate attachments, the 'casing' and a great palate for making the mix!

    Its an excellent opportunity to purchase steaks on sale and ground your own meats instead of paying the high prices of ground beef, pork, chicken, turkey, etc....
