    Tex_77 Right on! Brisket for sure! I was thinking of a brisket short rib mix. I like some of the other ideas as well.

      I’ve got some Ultimate Steak & Roast seasoning on the way. What about adding some high temp cheese to the mix? Overpowering? Too messy?

          Use whatever meat, cut, or ratio you desire, but add these ingredients and it will be the best burger you have ever had.

          Mix following ingredients together in and place into airtight container.
          1 teaspoon ground black pepper
          1/2 teaspoon Accent seasoning
          1⁄2 teaspoon brown sugar
          1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
          1⁄2 teaspoon onion powder
          Add mixture to burger at the rate of 2 tsp/lb of meat
          Add 4 teaspoons soy sauce/1lb burger.
          Form into patties and cook as desired.

              Hey Everyone,

              I’ve made lots of sausages, however this will be my first time making hamburger. How many passes through the grinder do you grind the meat? My thought was first pass 3/8" plate and then final pass 1/8" plate. What have you found to work the best?

                    PokeChop yes afterwards, but it really does not matter. I grind though a 8mm then through 5mm add spices mix and cook. If you want to add spices at some point in the grind cycle that would do just fine too.

                          PokeChop I like it ground one time with 3/8. If you ever get a “great” burger from a class place, that’s the grind they use. Just mix it enough to let it get sticky. I like to let them sit in the fridge for a couple hours to let them meld the flavors and set up. Have fun with it. I’ve made burgers with chuck, brisket, sirloin (with a little fat) and combos of all. Like the brisket or brisket/chuck the best. But, who am I. You get the mouthfeel or taste you or your family like. You will never buy ground meat again. I picked up a little trick from someone on this site for the extra you don’t make into patties: wrap it in plastic wrap first, then vacuum pack it. That way, none of the juices will escape. Just have fun with it.

                            I grind all of our hb once to twice a year. I purchase whole packers of brisket, sirloin and chuck. Whack em up and grind away. Weigh each out to 1 lb packages and vav em up and into the freezer.

                                  Chef I remove any silver skin for sure. Then, I trim to get about an 80/20 blend (eye ball) and save the rest of the fat for when I grind a meat like sirloin when you need the fat content.

                                      Chef Your blend if also perfect. I did three different grinds recently. One was pure brisket. Next was brisket and sirloin and the 3rd was brisket and chuck. Because of the sirloin type (basically beef knuckle) was soooo lean, I used all of the reserved fat for that mix. I used some for hamburger patties and the rest I portioned it out into 2 lb vac packs for whatever I want to do with it in the future. I caught all of the meats at a reasonable price before the huge jump in prices lately. Got the brisket for 3.29, knuckle at 2.69 and the chuck for 3.69 bulk at a restaurant supply house in town. Just went back the other day and brisket was at 4.79, knuckle at 3.79 and chuck at 4.59. Yep, a pretty decent jump.

                                          You may also want to try some of Walton’s Patty Mixes. The Jalapeno is excellent, but be advised. It is hot. May want to add to ten lbs instead of 6.
