That's no exaggeration. :-) But this thread got me to thinking
about mixing ground beef, whether for burgers, meatloaf, whatever.

The standard wisdom is not to overwork the ground beef, because
your hands can melt the fat and make it tough. But if you don't
mix it enough, the seasonings won't get dispersed. So how do guys
mix your beef? Would it be efficient to use a spoon? TIA...
