GROUND BEEG & LIVER RECIPE
If you are reviewing this recipe, you already know the health benefits of liver. The trick is finding ways to prepare it so you enjoy it.
Grinding it and mixing it in with ground beef or other ground meats is one of the easiest and most flavorful ways to use it.
Ask your butcher to grind your liver for you.
Alternatively, you can grind it yourself. Simply large dice your fresh liver. Add it to a small food processor. Pulse until you get a nice smooth consistency.
Add liver immediately to ground meat and cook. You can store ground liver in a glass airtight container for 3 days.
