The secret ingredient thread (before it turned full MED) made me want to
cook a pot of chili. So I got out my most excellent PRO Kitchen Aid
mixer with the professional meat grinder attachment (metal one not
plastic) and got to work on 8 lbs of chuck roast from Smith's. These
older metal/aluminum attachments have a larger hole in the grinding die
than the newer ones and it makes a decent chili grind. The feed tube
hole is a little too small so I had to cut the chuck into fat beef
strips in order to feed it through. This chuck is pretty lean and I was
hoping to get a 20% fat mix. It looks to be less.

Exactly what I do and have always done with my meat) and yes, my grinder
is metal! )
