cheddar cheese

ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground pork

Ground turkey is leaner, while ground pork is often less expensive.

Cut pork belly into cubes for grinding.

Place ice in a bowl and a metal bowl on top to keep ingredients cold.

Freeze pork belly and chuck roast for 30 minutes before cutting (if time allows).

Grind pork belly using a KitchenAid grinder.

Grind chuck roast after the pork belly, mixing them together.

Refrigerate ground beef mixture for 20 minutes for safe handling.

Add thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper to the ground beef and mix well.

Weigh the ground beef (2 lb 9 oz) and divide into burger patties.

Form patties, making a dent in the center for even cooking.
