What are you cooking?

I think that I NEED to get a meat grinder; one with a hand crank would be fine. I was thinking that a mix of chicken and pork ground would make for a really good burger. Another thought would be using left over corned beef or roast and grinding for a burger. Also would be interesting to use a grinder to make sausage as you can grind twice with the second grind adding the spices.

I have a meat grinder and I’ve been seriously toying with the idea of making my own burger from good lean cuts of beef . People used to do it all the time and I think it’s the only way that burger can be certified kosher .

I bought an electric one off Amazon about 8 years ago. I grind a combo of sirloin and brisket to make for burgers. But because of my heart issues I don’t use it that often. If my heart was healthy I would use weekly.

When I was just a youngin, my mother used to grind meat with a hand operated grinder that attached to the edge of a table.

Don't know if the same model but way back when we had one of those.

I'm having breakfast again for dinner. Country fried steak, eggs, hash browns, pancakes and sausage white gravy. It will be 4 eggs with runny yolks. Two eggs will go between pancakes and the other two over the hash browns.

Don't actually have any sausage for the gravy at the moment bit I DO have a pork and bacon burger patty that I don't care for much as a burger but it is very much like a mildly spicy sausage so I will use one of those well cooked and crumbled.

Sort of funny as to my not liking the pork/bacon patties as a burger as I like bacon on a burger and also like ground pork as a burger. I think the combo is just a bit intense for me.
