re: Meat grinder size suggestions

We use a 1/2 horse and it works fine. As mention grinding isn't the proble. It's all the cleanup and prep work. Cut your meat into 3/4" strips as long as possible, they feed better that way. Instead of spending money on more grinder I'd get some bus pans and If you plan on making sausage get a sausage stuffer. If you still like grinding meat/making sausage, upgrade later.
