Grinding some meat for burgers.

As one who likes to do things his self, I approve this message.
Do you make your own sausage too?

I haven't in a long time. We talked about making some this weekend.

That’s cool. I want to start making my own sausage because it’s so hard to find any that’s clean. Even my processor that I use puts sugar in the sausage.
I do make my own bacon though and I have a batch brining right now. I’ll be smoking it Saturday.

This is the first time we made in hamburger in a while. Meats are fairly high across the board. I had been looking for the last few weeks for whatever deals i could find. This morning I found some different cuts of chuck for $4 a pound. I buy a 10LB bag of beef fat once or twice a week for the dogs so I swiped some out of their bag. I was shooting for about 70/30 but it turned out a bit dry, but tasted pretty good. I'm around $4.50/lb but that is about the average cost of the 73/27 that was in the store. I didn't save a ton but a little here and a little there will save up.

I'm going to do some pork this weekend. I have not made any in years and that was some cuts from the local butcher. There are not a lot of ten-year kids being handed a lid form a large can and told to scrape hair on a cold Saturday morning. I'm 54 but that seems like a hundred years ago.

Dude, my dog is so spoiled, lol. She get's her own little portion of scraps or leftovers several times a week.
