Ground Meat and Your Food Processor

Dont use a small food processor. Buy good quality meats to grind up. Choose a nice pork or beef roast about 3 - 5 lbs, or chicken or turkey breast meat that is boneless and skinless.

Cut up the meat to the size of a 1 inch square or approximate thereof. Arrange the meat chunks on a bakers tray, cookie sheet, or something equivalent. Line the tray with parchment paper first. Place these trays into the freezer for 20-30 minutes. Check to make that the meat is not completely frozen. The meat should only be semi-frozen. Chicken or turkey will not take as long as pork or beef so time it carefully. Once you learn the timing just set your timer and relax somewhere.

Take the meat chunks out of the freezer and remove them from the trays. Put about 7-8 pieces of meat into your food processor machine. At this point, you could even add some herbs and spices if you wish. Turn on the food processor and pulse until just the right consistency.

Put it into a large bowl. Continue to process all the rest of the chunks of meat until you have all the meat ground up. Remember, keep the chunks of meat semi-frozen because the food processor cannot process the meat unless it is semi-frozen. You may want to place some pieces back into the freezer for a few minutes. Once all the meat is ground, take about 1/2 lb of the meat and place into a sandwich bag. Do this to all the meat.

Put several of these bags into a gallon size freezer bag and freeze until you need some. So buy good quality meats and never buy ground meat again. You will know exactly what is in the meat and the quality. No unknown parts, just pure meat. Your recipes will never be the same and with the small packages you have created no more waste either.

Congratulations, you have just made your own ground meat. This is so easy, anyone who owns a food processor can do this. Its easy, quick to thaw, and ready to go. You can even make your own ground sausage once you start doing this. So, have fun.
