Grinding burgers
Furall
Posts: 124
I know this has been discussed but forgive me. I would like to give grinding my own burgers a shot. Is a well marbled chuck roast going to give decent results? And as far as the KA attachment. Will it suffice for pretty much burgers or is that 50 better applied to a standalone? Thanks for the help.

The KA grinder works fine for burgers. If you want to get into sausage making, save your money for a piston stuffer. If you're going to do very large batches, a stand alone grinder is faster.
Chuck and brisket make good burgers. If you really want a real special juicy burger, replace the beef fat with pork fat - belly fat or some other soft pork fat.

You can do straight chuck for burgers. I'd toss in some other kind of meat, even if it was just some bacon. Look up the burger lab on serious eats. He's got a breakdown of different cuts and what each one will all fat wise and flavor wise.

And FYI...i'd pass on skirt steak. Not really a good addition to a burger blend. Sounded good when I was at the store, didn't work out so well.

I did chuck with short rib 50/50(choice meat) Super duper awesome. I actually ground the meat in my food processor; it worked really well.

Thanks for the help guys. Looking forward to trying.

I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.____________________Aurora, Ontario, Canada

I tried 70% sirloin and 30% chuck - did not come out that great
Going back to my best burgers
2lbs Brisket - 4 lbs chuck - 3 lbs pork but - Juicy and flavorful.
