Bacon Cheddar Brisket Burgers and Hand Cut Fries

I ground a brisket last week and froze it for the purpose of brisket burgers. Tonight was the night.

Getting ready, oil heat up and egg coming up to temp. Small chunk of mesquite to toss in.


Cooked the bacon raised direct.


Cut the fries this afternoon and soaked them for a few hours in the fridge first.

First batch for the first fry at 325*


6oz brisket burgers for the adults, quarter pounders for the the kids. Buttered Texas toast to get nice.


Second fry at 375*


Plated with just a few fries. The second batch wasn't ready yet and I was hungry, had to share the first batch.


Mmmmm...



Wow these were good. As long as Wal-Mart has choice briskets for $2.96/pound, this is going to be my go to for burgers.

    Looks great Dwayne!  Just brisket, no other meat?  I've seen them mixed in with something else.

    Just brisket. I've also seen various blends, but wanted to see what just brisket was like.

    Brother D those look spectacular. I could go for about 6 of those burgers about now. Solid man.

    Very nice. And shamefully I'll admit I've never grilled bacon that way. I'll try it now. Just because.

    Awesome burger!  We see a lot of burgers, but those look special.  I'll take 2, just for quality control purposes!

    Brisket makes some of the best burgers.  I cut out all the bulk fat and replace it with bacon. 

    Man, nice field.  Looks like a good location for a Wal-Mart..... ;)

    There's already a Wal-Mart on the other side of the street. I'm thinking maybe a Target to offer some competition... :sick:

    @DMW that looks great! Did you trim the brisket much? 
    Also, I've been looking at those portable butane burners that you did the fries on. How many btu's is that unit? Would love to get one for deep frying.  The wife complains when I do it indoors.

    DMW Awesome looking Brisket burgers.  

    Do you think just grinding up a brisket flat from Kroger would yield similar results?

    @pescadorzih - Thanks! I trimmed almost all the hard fat and a good bit of the fat cap. I figured the marbling in the brisket would be enough, and I think it was. I did do 2 grinds, one course, then a more fine grind. Before the second grind I mixed the point meat (fattier) with the lean of the flat.

    The burner is 8K, this one:
    http://www.therestaurantstore.com/portable-gas-stove-butane-burner-with-1-range/472E10SL.html

    It should be a bit larger, recovery time between batches was pretty long with the amount of fries I dropped each batch. I probably should have gone with smaller batches.

    @blind99 - Yep, a number of times. I do not stuff directly from the grinder, I have a vertical stuffer. Here's one I posted:

    @DMW - that's the 5# LEN stuffer?  If so, I have that same unit. Worth it.

    Wow, very cool, I'm sure it's delicious stuff!  I seem to recall people saying a dedicated stuffer is the way to go.  Grinder, stuffer, vacuum sealer... I would need a new house for all of it!

    No, I wish I had gotten that one. It's the Kitchener 5#, very similar by has nylon gears. For the volume I stuff, it will probably be OK.
