Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • Grill grates
  • Cast iron pan or skillet
  • Baking sheet
  • Meat grinder (optional)

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground venison
  • 1/4 lb ground pork fat
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup cracker crumbs or bread crumbs
  • Kosher salt
  • Olive oil

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, mix together the ground venison, pork fat, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, egg yolks, and cracker crumbs or bread crumbs. Season with kosher salt to taste.
  • Form the mixture into 4-6 patties, depending on desired size.
  • Brush both sides of the patties with olive oil.
  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  • Place the patties on the grill grates and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
  • Serve on toasted hamburger buns with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • If you prefer a leaner burger, use ground venison with less fat.
  • Adding ground beef or pork can also help to balance the fat ratio.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the patties in a cast iron skillet on the stove over medium heat.
  • You can also add sliced colby jack cheese or cheddar cheese on top of the patties for the last minute of cooking for a delicious melty cheeseburger.
  • Adding bacon or sautéed mushrooms as toppings will elevate the flavor profile.
  • You can store the venison burger patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
