Even worse is the price of ground beef - generally at least $3.60 a pound for 70/30 and nearly $5 for the good stuff.

How much is all the other beef? The same price and sometimes a LOT less. I've been using my food processor and testing out various cuts of beef. You just have to cut it into chunks first.

Chicken breasts work too - good for stuff into pasta or making meat...er, chicken balls with.

Like adding breadcrumbs to meat to make it "go farther"... only in this case the bread crumbs is actually partially cooked fat that they couldn't sell any other way.

Why not buy the slab of meat for the same price or less?

Well, in that case have we got a product for YOU !! I LOVE this thing. - Homemade Chicken, Pinenut, & Spinach sausages. MMMMmmmmmmmmm.

:snap: Chicken, pinenut and spinach sausages sound delish! I was thinking of the attachment for the kitchen aid mixer that I already have but some of the reviews had me second guessing that.

How is the clean up on the Sunbeam one?

you can always buy a different cut of beef and have it ground

Cleanup's easy, by hand if you have a bottlebrush (I a regular bottlebrush that we got in our brewing kit)

I have also stuck the bits in the dishwasher..... :)

Do Sunbeam USA have one? I couldn't find it on their website... (we're separate companies, believe it or not...)

I should have saved the chicken and dumplings to make today with all this cold cold wind and rain we're having. I need a good reason to turn on the oven or stove and help warm this place up.

I refuse to use the heater. We're on a propane tank and you can practically watch the meter drop when you turn on the heat.

So... I have no idea now what to make for dinner. I've got some beans. I suppose I could go the mexican food angle and make refried beans, rice and some chicken... but that would make me want to grill the chicken and that's not going to happen. Same with burgers. Grill it. In only a weeks worth of nice weather I'm already in the grilling habit.

I'm making Beef Stroganoff tonight.

Actually, I sliced it into thin strips and cooked it with mushrooms, onion, sherry, tomato, and a little salt and pepper for taste. Then I served it over egg noodles with a Dollop of sour cream. Bill loved it!
