If you’re a fan of burgers, you must try brisket burgers. 

After trying this recipe, your homemade ground beef burgers will never be as good!

Getting the ratio right is important, so make sure you follow my steps below.

Freshly ground brisket combined with a few seasonings and then grilled is pure perfection.

What is a Brisket?

A brisket is a cut that comes from the chest of a cow. 

Tough but tasty is the best way to describe it. The best way to cook it is slow and low in a smoker. 

It’s also popular at our cookout, and it’s also one of our favorite cuts for making burgers!

Advantages of Grinding Brisket

The flavor of freshly ground brisket is wonderful. 

When the whole brisket is ground, the lean-to-fat ratio is roughly 80/20, making it ideal for hamburgers.

It also can work out cheaper than buying ground meat!

In the United States, the price of a pound of ground beef or ground chuck ranges from $3 to $5 at the local supermarket.

The brisket I bought cost $3.99 per pound, and it was much better after cooking than the 80/20 ground beef I generally order.

Find out how much a brisket is in your local store and see if you can get it for a good price.

Now let’s go through the recipe together.
