Received a cuisinart food processor for a wedding gift, a 7 cup model

I've only had it 3 days but so far made a nice cheese dip and used to it
fine chop cabbage for chinese dumplings :-)

Is it worth my time in effort to grind my own meat with it? I was
thinking
a coarser grind would be nicer compared to the usual store bought ground
meats for many dishes. Does anyone here do this regularly and can comment
or
offer advice? I don't envision buying a proper meat grinder anytime
soon.


A food processor is far better than mystery meat... but you really
ought to buy a meat grinder.

Sheldon, I'll probably give this a go and if it does not satisfy my needs I
may end up doing so. Suggestions for brand names and models? I don't want
to sacrifice an early retirement on one but I would want one that lasts for
life.
