So I wanted to bring to your attention this new discovery and totally fantastic tool I happened to buy. It's called a Zing! and chops, blends and mashes ground meats. I absolutely love it. It does a great job for ground beef to make the pieces more uniform. It's made of stain free nylon, and will not damage cookware, is dishwasher safe and great for scrambled eggs or spaghetti sauces too. I use mine all the time and easy to store in a kitchen drawer.
