Publix Brisket Pork Belly Burger
What it is
This is a ground meat patty made from a blend of beef brisket and pork belly. The brisket provides a rich, beefy flavor and a good amount of fat, while the pork belly adds a distinct savory taste and extra moisture. It is pre-formed into a burger shape, ready for cooking. The combination aims to create a more flavorful and juicy burger experience than a standard beef patty.

To cook, place the burger patty on a preheated grill or in a hot skillet. Cook for several minutes per side, adjusting the time based on your desired level of doneness. Ensure the internal temperature reaches a safe level. Once cooked, remove from heat and let it rest briefly before serving on a bun with your favorite toppings. The fat content means it will render well, contributing to its flavor.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to a standard 100% beef burger, this blend incorporates pork belly, which introduces a different type of richness and a distinct savory note. The brisket component also contributes a deeper beef flavor than leaner ground beef. This results in a burger that is typically juicier and has a more complex taste profile.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking to create a more indulgent and flavorful burger at home.
How to keep the rest
Keep any uncooked patties refrigerated. It is best to cook them within a few days of purchase. If you need to store them for longer, they can be frozen in their original packaging or wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and then placed in a freezer bag.
