Grilled Ground Brisket, Double Cheeseburgers!

Author Notes: What is a Fair without a cheeseburger? There are hundreds of ways to make a burger, but for me, a grilled lean beef patty goes hand and hand with an artisan cheesy bun to make the best. So when I make burgers, I bake homemade buns topped with cheese, and then add a beef patty with melted cheese to create a "double" cheeseburger. - lapadia - lapadia
Food52 Review: I asked my butcher to grind the meat for me and he was very willing. Having the meat freshly ground made a huge difference in the quality and flavor. Only the simplest of seasoning was needed to round out the flavors. These were by far the best burgers I've ever made. I like the simplicity of the recipe because it is open to many interpretations. You could leave these as is or add all the ingredients your family likes. This recipe is a real winner! - HeritageCook - A&M
Serves 6
- 1 (2-1/2 pound) flat cut beef brisket; ground twice, or, have your butcher grind for you
- 1/2 teaspoon Worchester sauce
- 1 clove pressed garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon toasted onion powder
- 6 (1 oz. slices) of a cheese of your choice
- Iceberg lettuce
- 6 beefsteak tomato slices
- An array of other favorite burger accompaniments - although this burger is perfect as is
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Sea salt & Fresh ground pepper
- 6 cheesy buns (F52 recipe link below)

- NOTE: If you are not in a baking mood, buy some artisan buns from your favorite bakery, melt 2 ounces of shredded cheese on top and set aside until needed.
- Combine the meat and next 4 ingredients; toss to combine. Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions. Gently shape each portion into a patty – sized to fit the bun. Make a thumbprint in the middle of each patty, the indentation helps the patty hold its shape.
- Once the grill is ready; brush patties with olive oil, sprinkle with salt & pepper and grill to your taste.
- After the patties have been flipped, top with cheese and grill until cheese melts and beef is cooked to desired doneness.
- Cut buns and brush with olive oil, grill cut side down…just to mark them.
- Slather the bun with mayo, add the melted cheese patty, lettuce, tomato and top with the cheesy half of the bun.

Note from the cook...I also make this burger without added ingredients to the ground brisket, just salt & pepper the patty before grilling; both are tasty!
