If I were going to ground up my own meat to make hamburgers and I wanted to use a mixture of beef and pork. What cuts of meat would I use?

Chuck and boston butt makes a good burger.

Sirloin and fat back makes a burger worth killing over.

I like to grind brisket. Never added pork.

I agree with the brisket. Best burger I have ever made and had. I also ground pickled jalapeños with my brisket.

I like chuck because I can achieve a good fat ratio easily. The truth is, any fresh ground cut of beef will trump preground beef flavor by miles. Never tried brisket, but I'd love to.

Brisket for sure. Nothing else needed.

I have used chuck and bacon for the fat ratio to be right.

Grind up some cow.

Chuck is best in my limited knowledge. But I do love BBQ

I just bought a new grinder this past Saturday. Pumped out 15 pounds of boudin. I'm ready to grind some beef for hamburgers also.

I watched Julia Child make a burger the other day. In order to avoid overworking the meat, she put it on the board and cut through it with a knife to separate it a bit. Then she poured chopped shallots sautéed in butter over it, seasoned and just pushed it back together. She used 85/15.

I've got 2.

1 is sirloin steak tips slightly frozen then ground up in a food processor . Put in oven to heat slightly and drizzle melted butter and pepper. Pack into balls. 2 minutes on each side on skillet then in oven until 350F. Super juicy.

2. Elk 75% and Pork 25%. Still in freezer and haven't cooked them yet.
