Best Old-Fashioned Burgers

Excellent instructions about grinding your own meat. My DH bought both sirloin tips and boneless short ribs, froze them first, and ground them according to instructions.

They were very good, nicely flavored. We did NOT use the suggested Americal cheese, but instead the typical mustard, lettuce, onion, tomatoes.

Quite a bit of work, but very nice.

The recipe illustrates concept 14, "grind meat at home for tender burgers". We do not eat many burgers, but its always a hit with the kids.

This book describes the cellular/tissue properties of the long muscles that are typically used for ground beer, and what happens when it is ground. It describes the influence of how finely the meat is ground, and prmotes grinding your own so you have the ultimate control. It also explains why your meat is more tender (the size of particles and materials that are released).
