Best Hamburger Recipe?
-
zbigjeff Makes sense. Thanks. I’m beginning to grind my own ground meat. Until recently, I just had too much volume to deal with the equipment I had. sounds like a blend of brisket and a leaner cut would be perfect.
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.

lkrfletcher Do you add any fat or does the roast (Chuck I assume) provide enough?
PokeChop I do not add additional fat.

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.

there was a conversation past about adding bone Maro to the grind

I like to freshly grind brisket and chuck, form 1/3lb patties, not pounded to heck but just enough to hold it together. I season just the outside of the meat right as I am putting it on the cooking surface. Right now I am on the Fiesta Brand Uncle Chris’ Steak Seasoning.

HerbcoFood That is a pretty good seasoning, and it’s cheap!

Would you all recommend seasoning, shaping, freezing, and vac pack a larger group of patties or just freeze and pack unseasoned hb?

samspade I really never make the exact same burger two times in a row, it all depends on the bun I choose to buy and what seasoning mood that I am in. I never freeze hamburger preformed/seasoned.

samspade if freezing i like to have them already seasoned and ready to go when thawed, but it’s a preference thing to me I’ve done it both ways and convenience seems to be the only difference. Fresh is always best, but unfortunately that is not always and option.

samspade I did 10lbs of jalapeño burgers
the other day. Vac sealed in packages of 6. They work great for a quick meal. You can separate the patties while frozen and they thaw quickly and ready for the grill.

The other day I wondered & mentioned to someone the idea of taking brisket & grinding it with bacon, to make a bacon burger. I had never heard of it done before to make a burger, but something I must have seen somewhere made me think of it, so I mentioned it to one of my sons & I think we are going to try that some time. Does anyone know if it has been done before?

calldoctoday I know a lot of people get their venison ground with bacon for burgers. I can’t remember the ratio off the top of my head but it does happen often.

HerbcoFood OK, bout like most things I have come up with over the years, eventually I find it in the hardware store or something, already in existence. I had never tried the venison with bacon, just venison with pork for the venison burger, so it was not as dry. That worked good for burgers, we always just liked ours plain lean for pretty much everything else we used venison grind for, other than of course sausage.

calldoctoday My local grocer makes pretty much what you are asking about, I don’t recall if I have had this one before. They make a few other good mixtures Ill get time to time(depends on laziness and time).

HerbcoFood I shop HEB for some things, but beginning about 5 years ago, they shifted to a lot of private labels and ready to cook foods. I will not pay more for a private label than a national brand with few exceptions.
Look at the price. $8.23 for two half pound patties. Might be quality beef, but it is the trimmings off their steaks and roasts.
They are doing nothing for the consumer. Taking advantage of those who do not know better.
Anyone in the Houston area that wants to pay $8.00 plus for hamburger patties, just contact me.

Chef That’s why I only get them from time to time, also I like it when that manager’s special sticker is on there…
Also I have never seen anyone really buy those meat patties.
