Last couple times buying Burger Meat at Albertson not been very good. Sam's has some pre-made Chuck Brisket burgers that has great reviews. Was wondering if anyone has tried them? Man beef getting $$.
It's absolutely insane . Self inflicted insanity . No experience with what you ask , but I've been waiting for prices to drop some so I can get a brisket to grind . Keeps going up , so I went today and bought a bottom round flat , because it was the cheapest at $5.19 a pound . Pork butt was down $.40 so I grabbed one . Gonna grind both and mix it to extend the beef .Man beef getting $$.
Brian, we have done both the pre-made chuck brisket and pre-made prime rib version. Both are very good (at least the ones we have gotten)!Last couple times buying Burger Meat at Albertson not been very good. Sam's has some pre-made Chuck Brisket burgers that has great reviews.

Good to hear. I will pick up on of them this morning. I guess should par freeze before vacuum sealing the extra?Brian, we have done both the pre-made chuck brisket and pre-made prime rib version. Both are very good (at least the ones we have gotten)!
I was looking at that. I picked up the patties. Plan on grilling one tonight than want to smoke some for sloppy joes.I purchase the 10 lbs chub of Sam's 80/20 ground chuck. I vac/seal it in 1 lbs bags. I haven't tried the exact product you're referencing but I think the stuff I've been getting is really good.
Beef is giving us all a bit of sticker shock. I saw where the local Brookshire's is running their 80/20 this week for $3.99 but to be honest, it's not the same quality or grind I get from Sams so I'll probably pass on the local sale. The quality of beef I get from Sams has always been good. Local Brookshires is hit or miss.

THE FACT THAT I GRIND EVERYTHING MYSELF AT HOME TAKES AWAY SOME OF THE WORRY, I DO THEM MEDIUM RARE THE WAY WE LIKE. NOT AS RARE AS A STRAIGHT BEEF GRIND BUT STILL SOME GOOD COLOR IN THE CENTER. WIFE LIKES THEM BEST COOKED OVER OPEN COALS IN THE KETTLE, I DO 3&1/2 MINUTES A SIDE. OVER 20 YEARS, NEVER A PROBLEM, I WOULDN'T TRY THAT WITH STORE-BOUGHT GROUND BEEF. SOME BACON, CHEDDAR, SAUTEED ONIONS ON A GOOD BUN YOU GET A GREAT BURGER THAT DOESN'T BREAK THE BANK. RAYRay, I imagine with the pork you have to cook them to at least 145 deg?
NOT REALLY SURE. THE RECIPE WAS GIVEN TO ME BY THE MODERATOR OF A SAUSAGE MAKING SITE, GOOD BUD WHO HAS SINCE PASSED ON. THE GUY WAS A FOOD SAFETY EXPERT, USED TO WRITE-UP SOME ARTICLES FOR THE SAUSAGE MAKER, NAME WAS BARRY BYNER, AKA CHUCKWAGON. HE TAUGHT ME ALL I KNOW ABOUT CHARCUTERIE AND SAUSAGE MAKING, WAS A HUGE FAN OF RYTEK KUTAS, NEVER A BUM STEER. RAYWhat's the purpose of the soy protein, dextrose, and milk?

Correct. Ranchers have been getting squeezed by low prices (forcing many to cull their herds a few years ago just to stay solvent, hence the low headcount now) and consumers by high prices. You know the only ones who haven't been hurting? The small handful of companies in between.cattle herds being at or below 1955 levels reeks of collusion to me
I would love to have your brat burger recipe and pizza burger setup?GB too expensive? Brat burgers to the rescue! Then there's pizza burgers using italian mix. 50/50 beef: pork is KILLER for sloppy joes.
