Meat Grinder.

We use the kitchenaid grinder and it works fairly well. Lately we've been in a bigger time crunch (2 small kids, wife and I both work) so we've kinda gotten away from it. The quality is unmatched vs ground beef from a grocery. I still do it for making burgers. Chili...just gets store bought ground beef.

I would imagine the free standing versions are faster and easier than the kitchenaid attachment.

I do it all the time. I have the KitcheAid and it works good but I also have one I bought at Ducotes 3/4 hp for about $175 and a ten pound stainless steel stuffer since I do a lot of deer and pretty much use it now.

Go buy a brisket and grind hamburgers. Once is all it will take.

I trim some of the fat. I don't like that outer layer.

Grind it and mix it with ground short ribs, cook to just an easy medium with a little salt and pepper in a cast iron skillet or flattop then put the cat outside.
