Do you buy pre-ground, pre-packaged beef from your grocer or butcher? Do you ever grind your own meats?

Thanks, FB:-)

Thanks, Loggybren :-) We do have a nice grinder but for small amounts I like to use the food processor, works really well just for that touch of pork to add to meatloaf mixture or meatballs, and nice for a couple of hamburgers to grill on a sunny day. I like to know what's in my grind lol!

LOL!!! We've got a big grinder but for just little amounts, even just for 2 hamburgers, I just use the food processor. Works really well and I know what's in my meat. Nothing better than chuck for burgers, and if it needs some fat for flavor, I'd much rather add pork than beef fat. I don't like beef fat at all. Thanks, Scrappy:-)

Oh, just throw some cubes of meat in a food processor and pulse away. That will mince a little bit of meat very well :-) And then you know exactly what's in it, too LOL!!!

True! But then, I don't have a food processor and can't afford one right now. Saw a really nice "Food Network" one at Kohl's today. That stuff is high! But, we love that channel. In fact, we have it on all the time on the weekends.

If you ever get one, and I find they are quite handy, be sure to try the meat grinding :-) We love FN also, especially Alton and I just could watch Diners, Drive-ins and Dives all day LOL!!! I get so many ideas and often jot down what people do, especially for interesting breakfasts :-)

We're watching Diners, Drive-ins and Dives right now (got my pumpkin bread baking now...taking a break). Watched a lot of Iron Chef, Paula's Party and Chefography last night.

Those Iron Chef shows last night were from last year at least. Was there a new holiday Iron Chef this year? Must have missed it if there was....

I didn't see any. They seemed to have more individual shows or different combo shows but no IC ones. And there seemed to be more cookie swap kind of shows.

Yes, seems to be. But, there are still some good ones.
