Burger grind

[Muleys88]

Anyone ever grind their organs with their burger? Curious how it turned out.

I haven’t, but if I were going to do it, I’d do this:

A Louisiana boudin sausage recipe. Boudin is meat and rice and vegetables in a casing, a Cajun favorite. Here's how to make it at home.

I bet it would hurt like hell!!!

The processor I use said hearts should go in the grind meat if not otherwise eaten. They said it wont affect taste or texture at all.

I agree - if doing just burger, heart would be about as deep as I would recommend; I think there would be some texture/mouth-feel issues if you ground non-muscle tissue organs with burger. Tongue would work too [blanch and skin it though].
Sausages and boudin would be suitable for other internal bits - afterall, we know about hot dogs! .
I do add rib meat and some of the other small muscle stuff - some of that can be tedious though.

I throw all the weird stuff that my wife is too scared to eat whole into breakfast sausage and hamburger. Spleen, liver, kidney, oysters, heart, (if there’s any leftover from the traditional post-kill heart tendies meal). I’ll save some liver and maybe a kidney and package it up but most organs go in the grind. A great filler and my favorite way to get vitamins in. Tastes great to me. Highly recommend

I put the heart from my cow elk this year into the grind pile. ate a couple of burgers already and taste great.

You guys ever hear of Scrapple? I've never made it but normally liver, kidney and heart go into it. It's made with pork, but I know a lot of people who mix in venison. It's a PA Dutch or Amish thing. Fry it up crispy with some ketchup and it's delicious.

I've thrown heart into my burger and sausage grinds, but don't tell my wife...

People like @PablitoPescador are why I grind my own burger and am quick to volunteer to bring the meat component for any shared meal activities

I throw liver in with grind and seasoning to make "liverwurst"

 

[Musky]

Heart is usually too good seasoned and smoked, no organs in the burger yet for us.

No. I don't eat anything inside the cavity.

Back in the day, there was a study that showed elevated metals in the organs. Stopped having an annual deer liver cook-out after that.
