What Do I Need To Know About Ground Brisket?

WeberWho · January 8

I picked up a whole brisket a few weeks ago from Sam's on clearance. Unfortunately by the time I trimmed it up it wasn't worth saving to cook as a whole brisket. (I had a feeling that it would end up like that given the shape and what it was hiding) So I ended up grinding it up.

Is there anything I need to know about using it as ground beef? I need to make some chili before this weekend. I'm thinking I'll use part of it for over the top chili. Anything I need to know? Thanks

i use ground and add 1.5 inch cubes and simmer til the chunks start to fall apart. pretty much the same with sirloin, chuck etc. for chili. only thing i do different is grind it coarse thru the 1/2 inch plates on my grinder verse the finer ground supermarket burger

We get Brisket Burgers from the local HEB often. Hamburgers are always a good option.

I’d try to separate the fat as much as possible and mix it back in at a 15-20% ratio.

Brisket burger is fantastic. Sausage is great too. Look up a South African recipe called Boerwors.

I made some killer Texas Hot links with a weird roast I found in the freezer.

I bet a brisket meatloaf would be good too.

I didn't know what "Brisket Boudin" was, so I looked on EweTube and "Chubs" filled me in:

(WARNING: I've never heard the phrase "...cat taking a sh*t..." in a food video before, but here it is)

I hope that sausage is beef. I’m pretty sure you aren’t from Springfield, but that cute puppers photo makes me concerned.
