I have found that if you partially freeze the meat in cubes, then
place them in the food processor and pulse just a few times you get much
better texture in your 'ground', or more correctly 'minced' meat. Having
a nice sharp blade helps too. I hadn't realized just how dull mine had
gotten and what a difference a new one makes!
