For years now we have been buying whole pork loins and grinding them for our own ground pork. Fat content is extremely low. No need to drain after browning. Ground pork can be substituted for ground beef in all recipes. And I have a seasoning recipe to turn the plain ground pork into sausage. 2 types of ground meat for under 2.00 a pound. Now I will keep my eye out for beef brisket on sale too. Thank you Victoria!!
@@AModernHomestead waring pro, 2 speed motor plus reverse. Grinds up to 5 3/4 pounds per minute. Diecast houseing with stainless steel blade and plates. That is what the name on the side says. We had a smaller one in years gone by but it wore out. So we got a much better one last time. I cant remember what it costs. Tried to put a pic in this message but I couldnt. So I sent the picture thru fb, pop over there for a look.
Used to be a meat cutter here's a tip when choosing a brisket for grinding- solid fat is hard when cold. If you want a leaner one, pick a floppy one, or render down the fat and have a great cooking fat for later.
Great idea! I have the kitchen aid mixer attachment and I honestly think it’s not great, it clogs and pops off the blade SO often! I did find that it does work better if the meat it’s half frozen and I toss the attachment in the freezer for a bit before I start. Super happy you popped up on my feed!
Thank you SO MUCH for this video! (Side note: I love all your Einkorn flour recipes!) My husband and I have recently been contemplating whether or not we should buy the Kitchen Aid grinder attachment. We're definitely going to do that now! I'll make sure to use your link. Thank you!!
Awww Holly, you're so sweet! Thank you! I'm glad I could help you decide, we love it! I *hope* to have my einkorn puff pastry dough up soon... things are so busy on the homestead this time of year that things are taking longer than I want to post! But soon!
How about a video about the people who create these products (i.e. processing plants). As a carnivore/Ketonlife style adherent I cannot not help but to wonder not only where the beef came from, where it was raised, what they (the bovines) ate but how the processors (people) fared.
Yes! We do this when we buy a whole cow and get a bunch of random pieces too. Like you said, it's a great way to add in organ meats with the regular ground beef too!
Yes! We turn it into taco meat, seasoned meat for soups or salads, and then meatloaf also. I just finished editing my brisket meatloaf recipe, so it should be up in the next few days!
For the attachment, does it matter how old the kitchen aid mixer is? I bought mine used, prior to 2011. So if I got the one you provided in the link, would that work?
The one used in this video is from 1998! All kitchenaids can take the attachments, they are universal, so you should be all set! Only the bowls and beating attachments are model specific
Ground beef was always cheaper than a ground beef, unless you're buying leftovers that even factory decided are not worth grinding. But I prefer to pay more for having better ground beef. At any my local store you're saving 50% and a price of a meat grinder by buying ground beef.
Awesome! We don’t trim the fat typically, but depending on your grinder, you may need to trim it some as it can be very tough. We like it all mixed in for flavor!
nope. way too cumbersome. Just fork up the cash and get a good grinder. This would just discourage me from doing additional grinding with other meats. A good grinder from a company like MEAT will cost you about 500. You get what you pay for.
We're is gloves and beard net.? It's a year later now it's more expensive to make your own hamburger. But you have more control over it makes a much better Burger.
Jason just ran his left hand through his hair then went about opening the meat/brisket packaging and cutting up the meat. Oh no!! Contamination! One should make certain that each person preparing the meat or whatever it is...practices handwashing!!
Haha, he did and I laughed when I saw the video - but really, this was just for us and it was cooked right away, so it's not a super big deal. When we ran our bakery, we had full hair nets, gloves, and the whole nine yards for safety! But this was kind of like cooking dinner for your family, tasting the dish, and continuing to use the same spoon ;-)
In my area, brisket is $9/lb

Oh that's awesome! I should do that too with the pork... what grinder do you have?

Hi there! I'm sorry for the delay, I've been SO sick for 6 weeks and I'm finally back and responding

Thank you!! Just found a brisket on sale for 2.50 a lb! Buying some tomorrow and just ordered a grinder attachment for my mixer!
Yes!! This is awesome! Did you ask them if they would grind it for you? A lot of places will do it for free, which is amazing!
@@AModernHomestead I didn't. Hopefully my mixer and grinder will do the job, because I bought 27lbs! 🤣🤣
Great video and great demonstration
I do almost the same. I grind chuck roast which I refuse to pay more than. $2.97 lb. HEB runs roast & pork butts or loins on sale quite often.
Oooh, chuck roast is a great idea too! I'll have to grab some next time!
Wow! What an awesome hack! Thanks for the help on our grocery budget!
Are you using the medium grind or coarse? Also, just running through once? Thanks and Great Video!
I thought he was Stephan King for a second in your kitchen !!!
Haha, you're not the first person to say that! LOL!
@@AModernHomestead Yes, he sure does look like that great author.
Have your tried running some bread through the grinder to do the initial cleaning?

This has made me a subscriber!! Great money saving tip!
Thank you so much! Have you ever tried ground brisket? So good!
Great idea 💡
Wow! Thank you. God Bless and stay safe.
Great video!
I do this all the time. I'll grind cheaper cuts of steak, roasts, brisket, and even heart.
Yes! We do this when we buy a whole cow and get a bunch of random pieces too. Like you said, it's a great way to add in organ meats with the regular ground beef too!
I have ground my own beef before but usually have a whole beef slaughtered I still have ground beef from the last bull I had slaughtered.
Have you ever chunked up and canned brisket? Cheap easy fast food! I just haven't ever done specifically brisket.
This is sooo awesome! I should check the price of brisket around here. Hamburger is around $5 a pound these days. SAD!
Yes, it's insane!!
Do you cutt off extra fat or add a different kind of fat like pork fat?
Awesome idea! Thank you!
Did you say you are cooking the ground brisket (seasoning for various dishes) before freezing?
Yes! We turn it into taco meat, seasoned meat for soups or salads, and then meatloaf also. I just finished editing my brisket meatloaf recipe, so it should be up in the next few days!
For the attachment, does it matter how old the kitchen aid mixer is? I bought mine used, prior to 2011. So if I got the one you provided in the link, would that work?

I just purchased a whole brisket. It looks to have quite a bit of fat around the edges. Do you trim off the excess fat
Awesome! We don’t trim the fat typically, but depending on your grinder, you may need to trim it some as it can be very tough. We like it all mixed in for flavor!
Do you add anything to the ground beef before freezing it?
Yes, we turn it into things (taco meat, meatloaf, so on...). But you can also just freeze it raw I suppose!
@@AModernHomestead thank you!
I love our HEB
nope. way too cumbersome. Just fork up the cash and get a good grinder. This would just discourage me from doing additional grinding with other meats. A good grinder from a company like MEAT will cost you about 500. You get what you pay for.
Most any other meat sure. But here ground beef is $2/lb of good burger.
That’s awesome! Not here for sure.
