Guys and gals, I'm expanding my processing skills and would like to start making venison burger. I already make summer sausage, steaks and jerky. I am looking for something to mix for my burgers. If it was just me, I'd mix bacon ends with it, but my wife doesn't like/can't do bacon. I'm just looking for suggestions to mix for some cohesiveness/light flavoring. Thanks.
ok I modified this recipe from food channel ... love it for burgers .... BACON CHEDDAR BURGER 2 lbs ground venison 1 egg 6 strips of bacon 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce tablespoon garlic 1 or 2 chopped shallots tablespoon parsley salt and pepper 1/4 to 1/3 cup shredded cheddar cook the bacon crispy and grind or break up .... pour bacon grease in bowl and let cool .... in 1 tablespoon olive oil cook garlic and shallot for 3 to 4 minutes ...... MIX EGG AND ALL INGREDIENTS to include bacon grease then make into burgers .... I freeze burgers and cook frozen for 12 minutes flipping every 4 minutes ... come out medium and tasty
