BACON AND VENISON BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Place bacon in a stainless steel bowl; add venison, bread crumbs, Worcestershire sauce, milk, garlic, and cayenne pepper. Mix venison mixture using your hands and form into 5-ounce balls. Press balls with the back of a side dish to form patties.
• Grill patties on the preheated grill until desired doneness is reached, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

VENISON BURGERS

Steps:

• Start out with finely chopping the bacon or grinding the bacon with a food processor. Combine the bacon with the ground venison and steak seasoning until evenly distributed. *The bacon adds some much-needed fat to the lean venison!
• Once combined, portion the venison mixture into 4 balls and flatten them into patties. Use your thumb or a spoon to leave an indent in the center of each patty. Then, heat your grill, skillet, or frying pan to medium-high (closer to high than to medium) heat. *If cooking on the stovetop be sure to lightly oil your skillet or frying pan (*see note).
• Cook your burger until the surface begins to caramelize, about 4-6 minutes. Then, flip and cook the other side of the burger the same way.
• Once cooked, remove from heat and allow the patties to rest for at least 5 minutes before serving on a brioche bun with your favorite toppings and condiments.

• Serve with desired condiments and toppings ( grilled or sauted onions goes GREAT on these ! ). I usually top mine with cheese and more bacon and the onions. I always put a little condiment bar out with everything and let them pick it out.
