Burgers from Brisket

Not sure if this is the right spot to post or not...

Weird question here. I have some leftover brisket (used the ChefSteps recipe) in the freezer. I have a lot, actually. I had this idea to try and grind the brisket with raw meat from some short ribs and then cook them sous vide. A couple questions arise...

Is this a horrible idea?

Is it ok to mix raw and cooked meat if it's going to cook up together?

Help!!!

It won't grind the same so I personally wouldn't use it for burgers.

Raw brisket and raw short ribs make a great burger. Personally, I think I would turn the brisket into chili and make a chili, cheese burger, (maybe even grind a little bacon in the short ribs) but that's me. A cooked brisket/potato hash is also great. If you try it, please let us know how it turned out. It's not a horrible idea, cook the burger sous vide it could work out great. And yes this is the place to post questions and share.

If it's cooked, I wouldn't try to make patties with it. Like Todd notes, it won't grind properly. If you do manage to grind it, I'd add an egg to help bind things.
