Very best hamburger you can make

Mickey

Years ago @Beli was coming and spending the night at our house. What the hell do you cook for Beli and Loren as he is a master cook Egg or otherwise. So i decided to keep it simple but go for taste. I had part of a prime brisket ground and did burgers. Beli still talks about them, yes they were excellent. 

For some reason only cooked them once or twice in all those years. 

Sunday had relatives over and HEB had packaged Prime Brisket ground meat. Cooked Sunday and again today. If you have access to HEB get it. If not just grind up some prime brisket.  Used a Large for thick slices of red onion and Pepridgefarm Onion Burger Rolls to have room to grill.

Love this Mickey!  Thanks for posting!

Any local ATL people Patton’s meat market in Duluth sells prime brisket burgers made up already. Very hard to beat except that time I ground up a SRF brisket. Those burgers look great.

I'll grind up some lean brisket and bacon fat now and then.  They are the best burgers.

Sprouts does a very nice ground beef patty.  Sometimes with blue cheese or jalapeno or bacon.  Git some!

I grind up a prime costco brisket every time I run out of the last one. Just as cheap as buying regular ground meat but so much better.

I have been getting a short rib and brisket grind for burgers. My butcher shop puts it together for me. He is amazed all my arteries have not clogged each time I visit.

Great burgers @Mickey. I am starving now and need to stop work and go fix something to eat.

Thank you for sharing.

Their cowboy burgers are my go to when I don’t feel like driving to the butcher. I could walk to the sprouts by my house if I had to.

Now those look just fabulous, @Mickey. HEB has really upped their beef game this year.

We do those about once a month.  So good.

Great looking burgers @Mickey . I remember your post about doing them for @Beli Whatever happened to that guy? I haven't seen anything from him in a long time. Recently I was watching one of Spring Chicken's Mini movies to get some inspiration and I saw a bunch of his cooks. He had a pretty cool backyard setup from what I remember.

@Griffin , agreed.  Remember seeing posts of his backyard and property.  Gorgeous.

He is doing well. @Lawn Ranger and our wives went to see him in Mexico year before last.

Nice work @Mickey. Hard to beat a good burger.

That's good to hear. Miss his posts. Don't hear much from Lawn Ranger either these days.

best I have made is an 80/20 burger with the 80% being lean venison and the 20% being raspberry chipotle bacon ends from a small meat market the next town over.  grind them together twice to mix and make them in a cast iron skillet over a 425 degree direct heat.

@Griffin, Lawn Ranger aka Mike Schweitzer posts very actively on Facebook. His cooks, his covered patio, deck built for his cat, etc., still pack the WOW factor!

I really never understood why one would be against joining bbq groups on FB.  You can always join with an alias, just like we do here.  I dont think people have left because of anything in particular on the forum, FB is just so much larger on the cooking and BGE content that this forum (and everything else for that matter).  So many have created cooking forums where the rules are as they want, the content owners get to rule.  No one has to worry about the buffalo, unless that is your thing, and there are heavily censored egg forums for that too.  I have always wondered why BGE has let yet another thing slip through their fingers by not creating their own FB group.

I guess there are groups for everyone, the old forum style, and otherwise.  I like both.

Not speaking directly to you @Photo Egg, just my wonderings in my head is all.

I'm not on FB at all or I would have already joined.
I was not aware that you could join FB using an Alias but I have never checked into it. But will now. Thank you!

I'm in the NON-facebook group. Have joined it 3 or 4 times and somehow it pulls currant and former address books from ??? And I get the same people who I would just as soon  not get including relatives.

I was fortunate to start egging 10 years ago when Beli was still active on the old forum.  Loved his posts and generous sharing of his knowledge.

Looking forward to trying some brisket burgers soon!  Thank you for sharing, Mickey!

I quit Facebook as soon as I started living under a bridge.  That has a tendency to focus the mind.

Those burgers look delicious.
