Re: Deer burger

Treat it like beef burger. If you want a spiced burger add some. Personally, I just use a little salt, pepper, and garlic powder once its on the grill. When I make my deer burger, I add some cheap fatty beef burger. I will add 1# of beef burger to 10# of deer burger. It helps it stick together and keeps it from drying out.

Re: Deer burger

Thats a good idea AJ. If I have my deer processed I do the same. They grind in beef fat with the meat. Deer as a whole is to lean to grill without some fat. It will dry out and fall apart.

One of the best burgers youll have.

Make a regular patty. Throw it in a pan. While its cooking cut up onions really fine. After its about 80% finished, cover the top of the burger with the onions. Let it sit for just a minute (to help soften the onions. Then take a spatula and smash the onions into the face of the burger and finish cooking. I dont know what it is about it but wow! I think the onions actually soak up some of the meat juices. Their flavor is still there but they blend much better with the meat....

Re: Deer burger

Another thing you can do with onions and burger is this:

Pat out 2 thin patties. On one.......put a few onion rings ( raw) then cover with the other patty and pinch the egdes together. The onions cook inside the meat and make it juicier. wink.gif

Re: Deer burger

Can also used diced onions in the meat when you are mixing your veni and beef or beef fat. We usually add just a little egg and bread crumbs too, to help it hold together.

We also like to make lipton deer patties with lipton beefy onion soup mix, after broiling, smother with brown gravy. Kind of like a salisbury steak but much better.

Re: Deer burger

I do the same as alot of you guys. I grind up the deer.........put it in a big bowl. Weigh it then I go to Wal Mart and get the same about of burger and mix it all together and package myself. Like last year I had 12 lbs of burger so I bought 3 sticks (5 lbs a piece) of 80/20 and mixed it with. Tastes great and you have 27 lbs of burger.

Re: Deer burger

I have mine mixed with 5% pork trimmings! That adds some pork meat and fat at the same time and they aren't so greasy! I hate any burger that is too greasy!

The buffalo, I had that ground and they didn't add anything! It is great!

Re: Deer burger

Just grilled some venison burgers last nite. tongue.gif

Mixed the venison 2:1 with 73/27 ground beef and it was FANTASTIC. Coulda passed them off as 100% beef, I believe. Next mix will be 3:1. I used the 73/21 ground beef because it's the cheapest and has the most fat........which is what you're after anyways.

I prefer to use beef fat or beef for burgers.

For our sausage, I either use really cheap fatty bacon, or the trimmings from pork loins when I cut it and bag it for later after buying whole boneless pork loins.

Cabelas sells some sausage kits that are great, I like to add about 1 lb of bacon or pork fat per 4 lbs of veni.

The italian veni sausage in spaghetti is awesome.
