Brisket Burger Recipe - I Ground Up An Entire Prime Brisket 

I think you could use that grinder as an outboard motor! Nice burgers :)

80/20 is $6/lb right now. I've been kicking around the idea of making my own ground beef. I've got an old 333 hand crank grinder that I built a frame for and attached it to a 3/4hp GE motor that has a Baldor gearbox running at 60rpm. I run the grinder with an automotive v-belt. Nothing slows it down. I've been reading about chuck, brisket, short rib burger mixtures and thinking I'll try a blend. Whole packer brisket is $4/lb. at Sam's now and I can pick up a whole chuck for about the same price. Hopefully I can find meat on sale soon and save even more.

I discovered self grinding about 4 months ago , what a fun process. We did 1/3 each of short rib , sirloin and tri tip. Cant wait to try a brisket. congrats well done

Made this today, been wanting to try a 100% brisket burger and you gave me all the information I needed. 29 in the freezer and one to taste, awesome - Awesome - AWESOME!! Thanks for this video!!

Great 👍 video, I had done something similar about year ago with my leftover big piece of brisket after cutting off the flat for brining corned beef and kind of said the same thing- never buying burger meat again, then I got lazy and started buying again. But here I sit with half a brisket again, and you reassured me- it’s worth it. Mahalo brother

On Feb.8, 2023, I priced a brisket at Safeway here in Washington State for $6.99/pound. It was 18.99 pounds and the member price was reduced to $94.76, from a non member price of $132.74. My how times and prices change! That grinder has been calling my name for a year now, and I'm buying it April 3, 2023! That 1.5 hp #32 grinder is the one that marries up to the MEAT 50 pound meat mixer for sausage and I'm stoked! I just killed my 1,800 pound beef yesterday, and I'm killing a four hundred pound hog tomorrow! I can't wait for that grinder. It's an American made beast, at a good price! Thank you for a great video Sir! Liked and subscribed. 👈👍🙋

Dam nice machine Hint: if you season the meat after you cut it up in small chunks and let it sit over night, you then grind it up, you will get fantastic results

Thank you for all the recipes. Your the best my husband uses your recipes here in New Mexico and we cannot keep up with the community amazing amazing

Hey Joe, I ground one prime brisket so far and it made the best grilled burgers I ever ate in a long time. Just bought two more primes at $3.22 a lb and filling the freezer. Meat grinder and vacuum sealer was a wise investment. Thanks for the video.

Great job! Thanks for this!!

KMO. Ketchup, mustard and onion. The classic.

Now this sounds incredible!

Sam The Cooking Guy taught me about Japanese Mayo. Do yourself a favor and get a bottle of that stuff, it is delicious.

Great video! Looks delicious!

Hello I’m new to your channel. Enjoyed how you prep everything. I’m looking forward to more videos. Thank you. Your right, nothing like grinding your own burgers.

Great looking burgers! That meat grinder is pretty awesome too!

Right after I watched this video I ran out and bought an 8 pound brisket. Cut the fat off and got over six pounds of brisket burger. Then I cut the fat into strips and put then in my air fryer until they crisped up. That turned out to be a huge success and was devoured in no time at all. Next time I will probably trim a little more fat off.

What a great idea!

Really enjoyed the video. Gave me a great idea and I'll be heading to Costco for a brisket soon. I have a grinding attachment for my mixer.

I have the same grinder, i spend more time cleaning up than i do grinding. Cuts really clean, quiet, and fast! Might have to give these burgers a whirl this weekend.

Wow! Awesome video. We have a kitchen aide and just ordered the meat grinder attachment

Awesome job! Such a Texas thing to do: grind your own brisket into burger patties and while eating the burger wash it all down with a Lone Star! Cheers!!

Awesome.

Thanks, this was just the info I was looking for - how much to trim off a brisket to achieve 80:20.

Loved the video. I’ve just started grinding my own briskets because of you. I have a LEM 32 and just did four untrimmed packer briskets that were 51 lbs at $1.67/lb. I cut off about 10 lbs of fat for deer meet in the winter.

That is a really awesome grinder Joe it looks like it can handle just about anything you throw at it. The burgers look fantastic also.

I enjoyed watching the video . Great , fresh homemade ground beef , excellent . That double cheeseburger so good so delicious .

Hey Joe. Good tip on freezing the patties before vac sealing to keep the shape. Keep up the good work man.

One thing you might consider, which I've seen on Henry's How-tos RU-vid channel (shout out to Henry) is run the meat through twice in order to evenly distribute the fat throughout the grind.

Joe can't wait to see what else that meat grinder can do. Those burgers looked top-notch. Great show. I love you branching out to some different style cooks.

I'm deffently gonna have to try this for sure . Joe those looked delicious.

Blue cheese and a1 sauce is a most try if you haven't yet.

I would say you nailed that brisket grind . You chilled the grinder parts , cut off anything you don't want to eat, chilled the meat cubes and got a perfect grind. Nice !! The Hamburgers looked delicious.

That grinder looks awesome and the brisket burgers look super tasty. I need to try cooking brisket one of these days.

Thx for da vid I'm definitely subbing

You Are Top of the line ❤

I really need to try this. I know those burgers are delicious. Great video

Great looking high quality burger there. Wow you opened my eyes with the price of ground beef vs grinding yourself- never thought about it like that.

Wow these brisket burgers 🍔 came out awesome... our months were watering while we watched... happy labor day weekend... cheers Tio 8)

Awsome Work😅

Great video!! I am getting a meat grinder and can’t wait to try this!! Great looking burger! And dukes mayonnaise is the only way to go! 💯🔥🔥

Love the new toy. Looking forward to seeing videos of making homemade sausage with that machine.

Thank you for the birth get recipe I made one yesterday in the first time and it came out perfect

Ciao un saluto dall’Italia sei grande 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Good presentation, you wear well.

Great looking burgers, a single is ok with me!

Hi Joe..Love the channel. I've learned allot from you. I have a Cabelas 1.5 hp grinder. It is a huge benefit to have a grinder. I use it more than I ever thought I would. I never buy store hamburger anymore always grind my own chuck or brisket. Super better quality and taste. I find the extra cost is worth it for the better quality. Also been making home made sausage now with it. The possibilities are endless..Enjoy the new machine. I look forward to more videos using the grinder.

Wow that thing grinds hella quick. I want one

Watching videos for my first brisket grind. I buy a 2 chuck package at sams and grind them up, but my Kroger meat guy just called me and told me brisket 1.99 lb. Can't pass that deal up, bought 5. Smoked one, came out great. Now for the grind. Thanks for the tips!

just ground up a prime brisket into burger, took so long using my kitchenaid stand mixer attachment that i had to do it in shifts to keep the meat cold. im ready for burgers tonight!

Great video! Can't beat fresh meat for sure . We get a half beef about twice a year from local ranchers, much better than store bought meat

You're killing me with that Double Burger with Cheese Joe! Well Done! MEAT!

Kroger here has brisket on sale $1.99 a pound. Ground beef is $4-$5 I have been doing this for a while. Its better quality ground at half the price. I hunt and always process my own meat so already have a good meat grinder.

Love making my own brisket burgers, cutting into strips instead of chunks makes it easier to grind though!

Great video: Researching meat grinders, because recently i have been doing the Lion Diet for weight loss and was getting stomach pain the last few weeks buying ground beef like something changed with the ground beef i was buying from sams club, noticed the tubes have a label "contains bio-engineered ingredients" and i freaked out curious of what they are adding to ground beef now to cut corners or such. So looking forward to trying my first ground beef brisket burger. Something i wanted to add, i use vacuum sealer a lot because i cook my steaks in sous vide, for burgers i put 1lb ground beef in the vacuum sealer, seal it. Then i mash the meat flat so its easier to stack in the freezer, but when i go to cook it, i just toss it on the grill as a large square and after about a minute on the grill i use the spachula to separate the large patty into 4 square patties and finish cooking them. Just found it easier to store the meat and cook it this way. Sometimes i sous vide the ground beef with my steaks im cooking, then toss it on the grill for a few minutes to finish it off since its already cooked to medium rare from sous vide.

I just cooked some burgers I made from tge trimmings of a Prime brisket I cooked a few weeks ago. I'm with you, I just got Choice Chuck on Sale for $3.79/lb that i ground and vacuum sealed in 1lb packs. After eating those burgers I think I'll be heading to Costco for a full Prime packer ($3.99/lb) next time I run low on ground meat

For burgers you should have ran it through the grinder twice for them to come out more tender when finished.

I like your style. If I'm firing up the smoker for a couple briskets, I always grab an extra, smaller prime brisket to grind for sausage. A lot of people think that sausage is just made from whatever is left over from cutting good cuts of meat. I think that the better the ingredients that go into the sausage, the better the final product.

I want that grinder for Christmas! 👍🏼 Joe, try a tortilla press (with wax paper) for pressing out your patties...especially if you want thin smash burgers! 🍔🔥🇺🇸

I bought a 42 from bass pro shop. The cabella unit. I think it's made from same mold. Your parts looked same as the cabella unit.

The Bearded Butchers use the same grinder. Looks really good!

Suggestion: try square patties. Weigh meat. Stuff into sandwich bag. Smash to flatten into square patty & store in bag.

Very intelligent

Great video, and I grind my own also,,,funny part is a year later, 9/2021, brisket in NC cost $5.xx per lb.. take care everyone.

Dammit Joe, now I gotta get me that toy, nice looking buger, thanks for the video, 🤟🏽💯

*_I'M GLAD I SUBSCRIBED TO THIS CHANNEL._*

OMG!!! I will never have a homemade burger again unless it’s a brisket burger. Well Done sir…. Well Done!!

Joe,funny I did almost the exact thing as you,prime brisket 14lbs,trimmed,cut in long strips,used a stand alone new grinder(not as fancy as yours)medium grind(ran through twice a/c saw that on ATBQ)froze all as 1/2lb balls 2 to a vacuum bag.when time to cook formed hand made patties and cooked on Weber gas grill.I found the burger cooked that way texture wise grained,then did smash burgers on back side of grill grates theay were much better,have done chuck roast and about to do top round round.If I'm not happy with that i'll try combo's of different cuts,sorry this is so long but i'm trying to duplicate how burgers use to taste in the late 50's early 60's

SirRic if the Brisket!! Honestly, watching you trim is a relaxing soap treatment for carnivores everywhere.😍😍 Can you put onion, seasoning in with the grind or would that make it soggy? Bless you for toasted buns.. that was awesome Sir Ric!!🥰👍👏👏 Love yo you and family!

Run pieces of white bread at the end to push the last bit of meat through the die. When bread comes out, stop grinding.

its more 60/40 if you use the whole thing. which i like . a good greasy burger. also good for hot links. great job. why ilove your videos you do the stuff i used to do in the 70s and 80s. stuff i grew up doing. my grandpa threw nothing away it all went into sausage lol

Great new addition to the home processing plant. Are you sure this is what your butcher meant when he said you should try grinder? The burgers looked amazing and the meat did look clean like you mentioned. Next time maybe save the prime brisket for the pit and use a select grade or choice? It would be interesting to see if you prefer one over another. Knowing the cuts that went into the burger is priceless.

Looks like the right tool for the job.

Hombre, I've had burgers twice this week and now I'm wanting another. I'm with you though, never buy hamburger meat again. I've been grinding brisket for about a year now much cheaper than paying grocery store prices. If you haven't smoked cheese in the 640 yet, put it on your list, smoked sharp cheddar will kick that burger up a notch or two. BTW, being a native New Mexican (Mesquite) living in Houston since 92', I appreciated your smoked queso video. Keep those videos coming, each one is a winner.

I made my press by converting a cast iron tortilla press and making rings. used cling wrap and put it in the ring. Added meat folded over wrap and pressed. fold uo remaining cling wrap and press again. Its ready to freeze or use. Used a #22 grinder with a 1/4 or 6.5mm grinding plate. looks like you used a 1/8th plate.

I put lonestar light right next to Frio light

Just got a big commercial kitchen Aid mixer and I guess I can get a meat grinder for it. Gonna try this but add some hatch chilies to the mix... Question or request, my meat game is down thanks partly thanks to you (best carnitas ever)... Could you make a video on veggies? I struggle with them on my grills, pellet, off set and gasser.

This was a very good video and informational. Im actually thinking about doing the same instead of buying walmart beef. I will be get quality results doing it myself and potentially saving myself some change on the side after the initial investment. Thank you sir!

That’s where I went wrong🙄, didn’t freeze the burger before I vacuum sealed them. Rookie mistake!!!thanks and Your burgers look great!

Hey Joe, love the channel mate. Why freeze the burgers before vac sealing them? I kind of get it if it has cheese on the burger, but you said you have three trays in the freezer so I'm guessing there is another reason. Cheers.

Hello great video since u made this video have made more ground beef thru a 2nd grind how did it turn out. Also would you use a coarse grind or a fine grind

Hey Joe Nice Video Brother! Can You Provide A Link To The Burger Press? Thanks

All looks great ! Who make that grill ? Very nice .

Damn dude, it looks like you got the Ferrari of meat grinders right there! I agree, if you’re going to do a quality brisket burger like that, leave the lettuce and tomato out. 👌

Hi, Joe! Can you kindly give me the link for the meat grinder. I'm thinking about purchasing one. Thanks in advance!

appriciate the video. thanks. from one to ten what you give the burgers?

How are you liking the meat grinder now?

After grinding a brisket I made one burger to test and it was delicious but it fell apart. Any tips?

if you cut the meat in strips it will feed through the auger instead of bouncing on it

That looked good (the burger not the Lone Star). You could use that grinder as a wood chipper.

Did you ever have the 0.5hp ? Do you think it would be enough or should I go 1.5hp

Meat your maker has a 99 dollar meat grinder that works pretty well instead of 750 dollar one he is using here it’s good if you want to get started in meat grinding.

"Ninja star" works!

We use a lot of ground meat and it only makes sense to invest in a grinder, better quality and lower cost hamburger.

You're my first video regarding the grind of "brisket". I don't think I've ever had a brisket burger. Do you prefer it over chuck?

Gee Wolly 😮

Hey mr Joe the link to the processor is not working . What size processor is it . So I order the right one ?

Why do you freeze before vacuum sealing? I always just seal first. Thanks!

You need to cook those burgers through, you can’t be having them bloody. Any bacteria is located on the outside of the meat but by grinding/mincing it you are turning some of the outside parts of the meat to the inside. It needs cooking through. 👌 They looked good though.

I don't think it's cheaper to grind your own hamburger meat. But being a 5lb roll of hamburger meat at Walmart is $21.30 something and a 11lb brisket is $49.00 at Walmart 🤔 it's only a few more bucks to do this. I just bought me a electric meat grinder so I just bought that 11lb brisket and can't wait to grind it up. Going to use whole brisket all the fat. To get a more fatty burger. I seen another video saying you can make your own homemade wygu steak by adding Gelatin to it. And the guy says that they are great. So probably do half with Gelatin and half with just brisket alone 🤔 never ground up my own meat 🍖 before so really looking forward to seeing how this turns out 😅thanks for the video.
