I aint hungry anymore!!

My life is simplified; been grinding my meat in a food processor for the last decade or so. Some day I'll buy a manual meat grinder but until then the Cuisinart works nicely.
The no black bean patties are just wrong on soo many levels.

I need to work on this more,, I bought a meat grinder for the wifes Kitchen aid mixer.
I have only tried making burger meat twice. first time we mixed sweet Italian sausage with it and then added an egg and some Italian bread crumbs. It was good but tasted faintly like meat loaf.
Last time I had some trimmings from a bulk tri tip pack. So I bought a cheap small rib eye and added a sirloin steak and some tri tip meat to it. Oh,, that was good!
A little lean but good, wife suggested to add some fat to it,, just a little, so I took some bacon fat i had, just a little bit (maple bacon) and added that!! Oh my!! But it had a greasy texture to it and wife only took one bite. I ate half and could see what she meant.
Gotta say,, the dog was my best friend that night!!

When I get the mixture right i will try again.
A work friend just bagged a bore and asked if I wanted some trimmings...
We'll be at it again soon!!
