Step-by-Step Guide to Making Delicious Venison Burgers

Are you looking for a delicious and easy way to make venison burgers? Look no further! This step-by-step guide will show you how to make the most delicious venison burgers that your friends and family will love. All you need is some ground venison, a few simple ingredients, and some time to get started. 

Start with fresh ground venison

The key to a delicious venison burger is starting with fresh, high-quality ground venison. We know that fresh venison starts in the field, but if you aren't a hunter, check out your local butcher shop.

Add some fat

Venison is lean meat, so it's important to add some fat to keep the burger moist and flavorful. Mix in some ground pork or bacon to add some extra flavor and fat.

Season well

Venison has a unique flavor that can be enhanced with the right seasoning. Mix in some garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to taste. You can also add some Worcestershire sauce or hot sauce for an extra kick. We also love 2 Gringos Chupacabra.

Form into patties

Divide the meat mixture into equal portions and form into patties. Make sure they are not too thick or too thin, about 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch thick is perfect.

Grill or pan-fry

Grill the burgers over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are cooked to your desired level of doneness. You can also pan-fry them in a little bit of oil over medium heat for about the same amount of time.

Add your favorite toppings

Top it with your favorite toppings, such as cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and condiments like ketchup, mustard, or mayo. Serve on a toasted bun and enjoy!
