Steps:

• Form the ground beef into 12 thin patties, about 4 1/2 inches wide. Place on a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up. Preheat a grill to high and lightly oil the grates.
• Meanwhile, put the bacon in a large nonstick skillet (it's OK if the slices overlap -- they'll shrink). Turn the heat to medium and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the bacon to a plate. Pour the drippings into a bowl and reserve.
• Return the bacon to the skillet in a single layer. Drizzle with the maple syrup and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon pepper. Cook over medium heat, turning the bacon to coat in the syrup, until glazed, about 1 minute; remove to a plate to cool. Brush the cut sides of the buns with some of the bacon drippings. Mix the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard and hot sauce in a small bowl.
• Season the patties with salt and pepper on both sides. Working in batches, grill the patties until marked on the bottom, 2 minutes, then flip and top each with a slice of cheese. Cover and cook 30 more seconds for medium doneness. Toast the buns on the grill.
• Assemble the burgers: Spread the mayonnaise sauce on the buns. Fill with the pickles, patties (2 per burger) and bacon.

• Remove from freezer and place waxed paper between each burger as you stack them.
• I stack them in 2 1-quart freezer zip-lock bags.

BACON-STUDDED VENISON BURGERS RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Heat a cast iron grill pan over medium-high heat with your fat of choice. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl gently mix together venison, bacon, green onions, and herbs. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and form into patties, careful to not overwork the meat. Grill burgers for 4 minutes and flip once. Continue cooking another 3-4 minutes and take off the heat. Venison tends to cook quicker than beef. Serve with sides and accompaniments of your choosing. Serves five.
