Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground venison
- 0.5 pound Bacon
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 4 pieces Brioche burger buns
- 4 pieces Cheddar cheese slices
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces Tomato slices
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
Instructions
Start by chopping the bacon finely or using a food processor to grind it into small pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground venison and chopped bacon. Mix by hand until evenly distributed.
Season the meat mixture with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix again to incorporate the seasonings.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into burger patties, making a small indent in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.
Preheat your grill or stovetop skillet to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates or skillet surface to prevent sticking.
Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C) for medium doneness.
During the last minute of cooking, place a cheddar cheese slice on each patty to melt.
Toast the brioche buns lightly on the grill or in a clean skillet for extra flavor.
Assemble the burgers by spreading ketchup and mayonnaise on the bottom buns, followed by lettuce, a cooked patty with melted cheese, and a tomato slice. Top with the upper bun.
Serve the Venison Bacon Burgers immediately with your favorite sides, like fries or a fresh salad.
