If you have a Kitchenaid stand mixer (or compatible like Hobart N-50),
the grinder attachment works well. I wouldn't try to use it to process a
huge amount of meat at one time, but it does just fine for up to say 6#
of meat at a time which would certainly cover most normal meals. I also
find that it only takes a few minutes to tear down and wash once you've
done it a few times.
