Lynn's Notes:

I've had so much fun using my grinder attachment I just had to share. PLUS it makes the best burgers you will EVER eat!!!

 

Directions
1
The attachment is so easy to attach, use, and clean!!!!
2
I usually see what's on sale, and that's what I grind. Trim off any excess fat you don't want as well as gristle, and NEVER grind bone. Also where the meat comes together a lot of times there is a thin layer of membrane, it's best to remove that as much as possible, it will get wrapped around your cutting blade and make it more difficult for the meat to pass through the grinder plate, and you need to stop and clean it off of the blade more often.
3
I like to cut my steak or roasts into strips. About 1 1/2 to 2" wide strips, doesn't really matter how long. By doing this you can literally "feed" it into the grinder and rarely have to use the "poker". The directions say to grind on speed 4-6, I find the faster the better.
4
I grind chili meat using one of the bigger grinder plates. Below is a site I found to order different size grinder plates.
5
It is suggested to use a larger grinder plate, then put the meat back through using a smaller one, but I don't find that especially necessary.
6
There is nothing that matches the flavor of fresh ground burgers.
7
This site sells grinder blades and replacement parts for older KA stand mixers as well. I've ordered grinder plates from this site. You may be able to find them cheaper on others sites, but I have not purchased from any other site, so I can not recommend them.

NOTE: If grinding a lot of meat, it might be wise to stop about half way through and clean around the blade. While your grinding, if you start hearing the meat do a kind of snap, crackle pop sound, it means there is gristle or membrane around the blade and it is struggling to grind the meat. So it's definitely time to clean it. FYI, turn your KA sideways or away from you while grinding, it keeps from "spitting" meat juices on you while your grinding.

I've haven't ventured into chicken or pork yet, but sure I will get there eventually. But I will never buy another package of ground beef again!!!

So do you use the grinder blades in the Kitchenaid from that site? I have a grinder for my Kitchenaid but it doesn't have extra blades.

My KA came with two blades, small and smaller, and I purchased two more, larger ones, one I will probably never use, unless I want to make rope, lol.
And there was one even larger, think it had 3 holes, it was for grinding kidneys!!!!! NOPE don't need that one. Thanks Cindy, it was a fun post. But seriously if you've never ground your own beef, you will be amazed at the flavor.

Dana the one that is posted up there, I think that's the one I use for chili meat, and then have one larger I've never used, and rarely use the smallest one that came with the attachment.

aw thank you guys. It's something I have found great joy (and burgers) from doing and this is just an account of my experience, every cook is different, but this is how I do it and it works great. And by the way, if you look straight at the grinder when you grinding, it will spit all over you, just saying, lol, learned that the hard way!!!
