I love my Kitchen Aid mixer

Not only does it makes baking so much easier, it has the coolest attachments.  I got the meat grinder for a Christmas present from my brother and I whipped it out for the first time tonight.  I got the idea to get a meat grinder because I was tired of buying the 90/10 ground beef since the hubster hates fat and gristle.  I saw my parents had a meat grinder and that maybe I should get one too and lean cuts of meat when they are on sale and grind it myself.  I should have taken note what those lean cuts of meat were.

We went to Kroger on Monday night and saw some meat for sale.  It looked lean enough, so we bought it with the purpose of grinding it up.  I unwrapped the package and to my dismay one of the pieces was not so lean.  I spent some time trimming it up and into the grinder it went.  It works great!  I put it through twice per the instructions.  The second piece was much leaner and it went a lot quicker too.  I ended up putting it through the coarse grinder twice for the first piece and using the coarse and fine grinder for the second piece.  I think the latter method worked a little better.

Now the hubster can make some chili this weekend.  I hope he appreciates all this work I do for him.
