Hmm Brisket meatloaf

[BrianGSDTexoma]

I want to make meatloaf but no hamburger sales. Albertsons has brisket for $1.57. I have 2 frozen so don't need another but I guess could grind up for hamburger?

Makes great ground burger! Some of the best hamburgers in my opinion. And at that price id jump all over it!

Do you add some of the hard fat back in the meat?

That's awesome . I looked yesterday Brisket was $5.00 a pound Ground beef was $11 .
I trim mine out just like I was going to smoke it whole , then grind the whole thing . Just had meatballs made with ground brisket last night . Meatloaf would be fantastic . Fat content will differ , but this is what I end up with grinding the whole thing after some trimming .

Last one I did didnt have a ton of fat content. I just gound the whole thing. It was on the fatier side for ground beef. Looked like a 70/30

I never used to believe certain cuts tastes different but brisket indeed does. I find it more beefy and richer and easily my fave. I imagine it would rock on meatloaf. I have not ground it yet but predict once I do we'll never go back to chuck or store bought GB.

I found a 9 lb. My friend works in the meat department looked at it and said on the lean side but grind the whole thing and should be close to 80/20. I found hamburger marked 50 off after that and picked up. Will use that today for meatloaf and grind brisket up later. Wonder if could use with that Walton seasoning I just got?

No going back gor me . Sam you should try it . I just trimmed out a whole strip loin . Used the clean trim to make sticks . Night and day over store ground

Just checked and Sam's has them $3lb for prime. Rich, I'd still like to smoke some, grind point and smoke flat? Other way around?

I like the fatty end of a smoked brisket , but if I was grinding half I would do it as you said .

Try beef knuckle or teres major . Great beef flavor . I smoked the middle section of a beef knuckle yesterday . Smell was fantastic . Getting sliced for sandwiches today .
