Tips for Grinding Meat in the Food Processor. Cut all the meat into 1-inch cubes to make it easier to grind. Freeze the meat in a single layer until stiff on the edges and corners, but still pliable in the middle. Freeze the food processor blade. Only fill your food processor half-full when grinding — work in batches if needed.
