Thanks for the input. I'm having a couple people over for the Bronco game and am having a burger bash. I ground my own burger meat once before and the burgers turned out real dry.
When I suggested to the wife that I wanted to do it again for the game she told me that the last burger was one of the worst she's ever had -- I believe the words "drier that a turd" may have been uttered. Of course, she never said that at the time, but I guess that's how life works in a marriage sometimes.
Needless to say, I feel that my man card has been called into question. I feel the need to accept a challenge to grind my own meat and make a quality, juicy burger.
I know I didn't have enough fat in the meat last time. I believe -- among other thing, I used the lean side of the brisket for part of the meat blend. I can't remember what else went in it. In fairness, it did suck.
So I wanted to know what other people have used with success.
Had a very steaky flavor, was delicious! I froze up around 5 pounds of this ground beef in 1/2 pound plastic wrapped portions (which I store in a 1 gallon zip lock).
