Am I the only one coming to this thread looking for an awesome picture?
No. I too clicked it to see an awesome suit made of beef. Apparently op meant suet.

I buy cheap bacon, ends and pieces to grind with my burger. Makes instant bacon burgers. Also mix it very lean.
A few folks like this.....but I would caution anyone to try it before committing all your grind to it. I learned the hard way. Some foods for us that require burger do not taste good with the bacon flavor. Ended up giving away 50ish pounds of burger. :'(

Yeah, I was expecting the male version of the meat dress.

You guys have given me several great ideas, and the wife and I decided to try them all.
This year we’re buying a grinder instead of paying a butcher. Being a pandemic year and all. :chuckle:

I prefer my deer burgers with beef suet.
Safeway saves me some if I ask.
Our local Safeway packages beef suet during Oct and Nov and saves it for hunters. Gives it for free.

The wife and I have just enjoyed Moose Tacos and we are both very happy, that we did not add anything to the meat, but Moose. So far the burgers, Tacos, Loaf and anything else that we make with the ground Moose has been great. Just the your choice. I quit adding any fat to my grind. My choice. Enjoy whatever you decide to do.
A little fat helps hold the meat together when you cook burgers.

A couple saltine crackers crunched up and an egg will help make a patty that holds together too

I fixed it. Sorry to ruin the party. I got mislead by hopes of a guy in an awesome suit made of beef too.

So does pork or an egg or two.

I've been reluctant to use regular (uncured) pork as I like burgers in the medium rare or a bit lighter and even though pork is pretty safe these days it always crosses my mind.

I cut 1000's of lbs of jerky meat a year and I save all the fat from that for when I'm processing pepperoni and summer sausage. This year I bought an entire angus to split with a couple families and I saved all of the fat from that guy.Sounds amazing! Do you render down any of the suet for frying? I heard that's one of the reason McDonald's fries used to taste so damn good.

I have done straight grind, added suet, added pork and added beef. I prefer some added fat. Ex neighbor that was a butcher claimed that all suet is not the same. If you have a source he said to ask for prime rib suet. Pork is good but I have read that pork fat will not last as long as beef in the freezer. The last few years I have used either cross rib roasts or brisket, both beef. My hunting partners wife has been trying to get him to add something for years. Her and I went to the Cash n Carry in Clarkston this year and bought an amazing looking 23# brisket. She loved the final product after being ground with 100 lbs. of elk meat.Kidney fat is also really amazing in your ground meat, although it's very rich so it doesn't take very much

This year we did 34 pounds of beef brisket with 100 pounds of elk. Good stuff!
