Hamburgers from Scratch

tonight i'm made fresh hamburger.

i have a meat grinder so i might as well make good use of it.  i've ground meats before but not but not recently.

in my recipe i use 1 lb chuck to a a 1/4 lb sirloin.  you'll want fat from the chuck but the sirloin gives it texture and is less fatty.

i freeze the cleaned meat grinder at least 1 hour prior.  before that i cut the meat into chunks and then freeze to for about 15 min.  you want the beef nice and cold but not frozen.  i do this to eliminate as much bacteria as possible.

start by grinding the meat.  simple!

i add some parsley, salt, and pepper in the already ground meat.  enjoy!
