Got a cheap meat grinder and started grinding my brisket trimmings into 85/15 ground. Salt, fine white pepper, a small splash of worcestershire. I then form them with a cast metal press into 1/3 lb patties and freeze them in between wax paper. They store great, cook evenly, and taste fresher than most gourmet burger patties i've tasted. Always juicy and delicious. Highly recommend self-made frozen patties 👍🏼

So you cook from frozen?
Yeah, form them after they come out of the grinder is key to keep them from shrinking into a too fat hamburger ball
You’re basically making sausage by adding salt though. That texture has gotta be a bit chewy and maybe even tough compared to patties formed with out it.
I also fucking loathe worchestershire mixed in with the meat. It’s boomer bbq dad “more is better” nonsense and it is a red flag that dinner is gonna suck.
That burger and entire plate looks electric. Loving it!
