Prime Brisket grind

[jmusser]

Tired of paying for crap burger so I decided to grind a prime packer from Costco. $2.99 for a nice chunk of marbled beef works for me. Tossed in some onion and garlic for the first time. Did a 14# brisket. Chunked, froze and partial defrost (barely). Ground very nicely through my small plate as I find second grind a pain. I thought the grind looked very nice from this hunk o meat. Made 1.25# packages and some 1/3# pound seasoned patties. Thought they would be good camping meals. Froze on platters and vac sealed. Can't wait to try. First try at ground beef. Always do venison. Nice to NOT have to trim.

Looking forward to trying these. I thought the fat content was heavier than I planned based on color. I think it is gonna be very nice!

I just did some Costco prime packer a few weeks ago and it's every bit of 70/30. I'm probably going to do another but be a little more heavy handed with the fat trim.

Looks real good, I wish we could find Brisket at $2.99 per pound easier up here, usually if I do it is Choice Grade.

I totally agree based on what i saw. Had a had time throwing that marbled prime into the grinder though. I have only ground pork and venison before. Venison vs prime brisket- that is a different look! Can't wait to try.
