Store Bought Burger Sticks

[Fitz]

I’m going to try to make some sticks from store bought 80/20 ground chuck. Should I regrind through a 1/8” plate or just use it as is?

[twilliams]

Yes, grind through 1/8 plate. Are you adding ground pork or pork fat with it?

[Jonathon]

Fitz Yeah, you want to grind it once more to be safe and to add in protein extraction. Like twilliams is saying, you might want to consider adding a little pork fat, 20% will work bu adding 5-10% in pork fat might give you a better finished stick.

[Fitz]

Thanks guys, I’ll regrind and add some pork fat.
