She uses the tomato and chicken bouillon. And fresh tomatoes. Add anything else you like. Maybe I like hers so much because it is never the same twice. ;-)
I try to grind my own burger. I watch for cheap roasts, etc. on sale. The local grocery has pretty good meat but it is a lotta expensive but sometimes they run a sale on burger. I also make my own sausage. I don’t use sage. But quite a bit of fennel. Coriander, ginger, salt, and ground black pepper.
I am supposed to limit my iron intake so I don’t eat as much red meat. So it is chicken, fish, and pork usually.
Maybe I can combine ideas and get something I like. It can't have any chunks of stuff in it like onion, has to be ground fine if used or maybe I dare to use quality onion powder.
I can't justify the expense and storage of a grinder but still want my own custom burger mix (which you have to watch iron, I don't eat much red meat any more). Thanks for confirming I'm on the right track with my sausage. I'm not sure of the other ingredients other than the pepper you mention so I can start with just a tiny bit.
I got some chicken and then didn't want it, hate to waste stuff. Haven't had any good pork in ages. Fish I crave and Long John Silver's which is pretty greasy. Love the hush puppies. I don't like to deep fat fry at home because it greases up the kitchen.
But I got a pack of that masa and need to make my fry bread for puffy tacos San Antonio style. I never liked any taco meat I made, how to spice it right.
I do have in my cart waiting to checkout some of that frozen cilantro. I never have any and waste fresh. Love the flavor. It comes in lots of little cubes. Can't wait to try it for some guacamole which I never made before either.
Chef John cut his fennel seeds in about half. Do you buy ground fennel or cut it up a little? I'm not sure if those sharp seeds would be too good for my lower digestive tract.
