Making burger today...

[jehler]

Trying to figure out the best burgers, today we are grinding 3 parts chuck to one part brisket, about 25ish percent fat content Threw in 3 pounds of beef short rib meat trimmed from the bone as well. We'll see.

For taco's, sloppy joes and what not we just use inside round, a lot leaner

Get some bacon ends and pieces. Use it for about 30-50% of the total fat content. Pretty awesome!

nice John, how many pounds do you make typically?

Nothing like turning $8 a pound meat into $5 a pound meat.

hell no, I did pay 4.29 a pound for the brisket but the round was 2.79 and the chuck 3.40, I usually get the chuck for 2.79 as well but they were out of whole clods, it ends up the ground round is leaner and cheaper then what I buy at the butcher, the hamburger grind costs me about the same but is exactly how I like it, and actually a little fattier than the butcher but no real trimmings, just good meat and clean white fat

Holy hell, that's cheap! Around here the cheapest whole meat (beef, not pork) is $6 a pound, and that's shit. Hell, flank steak is $9 a pound and round is almost $8.50. Stew meat is over $5 a pound. That's why I kill so many deer- I literally can't afford beef.

Sweet lord - you could drive here, load a cooler and drive home cheaper than buying it there.

I pay 2.65/lb, cut and wrapped, but I get a pretty smoking deal.

Usually that close to the expiration date I can talk them down to 2.49 a pound, the girl yesterday wasnt having any of that though

You're damn right I could. It pisses me off. Even buying a quarter or half side, we're looking at $4.80 a pound. The day I lose my crop damage tags is the day I start shoplifting, I guess.

gonna have to see what our prices are like. i think we're more expensive than 2.79 but we're well under 9 bucks. oddly enough i think i can get bison cheaper than some beef around here.

Same way it is here. I haven't bought beef in probably around 7 years, other than at a restaurant.
