Everyone has there own take on ground beef. It will save you quite a bit of money once you have it dialed in to your tastes. Make some test grinds with your Beef Clod. It may need some more fat content. As far as course grind, fine grind, grind twice, is just a personal preference as far as texture. Just do your tests in small batches and fry up a patty and try. Once you get a feel for it, you can try all sorts of things just to make the wifey crazy. For me, the best burgers are made with a combo of beef clod and a mix of sausage mix from a pork shoulder. It's all fun and nothing will be wasted. Enjoy your new toy!
