Venison Burgers

[buckgitter]

Boys...I had the best tasting burger the other day!! A local butcher is making deer burger by adding bacon scraps....The burgers taste just like a bacon burger ...no game taste at all. I love deer meat but I have to be in the mood for deer burger...this taste puts me in the mood much more often now!! I will pick up 144 burgers today from 4 hams!! Grillin time!

I am not sure if this will help but I have some people around that think deer burgers taste a little gamey. I add onion soup mix to the burger before I make the patties. That usually turns out great. I also add a few strips of bacon and chedder cheese (or yellow american in a pinch. I can eat those burgers all day long.

If you want to get the gamey taste out of your venison burger, have the butcher grind in 15-20% beef fat. It makes a nice burger that won't be dry, and it makes browning it for spaghetti or tacos easy because it cooks more evenly. A buddy of mine has always bought a Boston Butt and ground that up in his venison, and it's a great flavor, for sure, as well.

Not that moose is gamey, but one thing I have done in the past was to skip the beef fat and just have 20% beef hamburg added in. Moose meat doesn't stick together well for making burgers. Its a little more expencive to add regular 85% lean hamburger to the meat but I liked it over just beef fat being added. Another trick I learned to make burgers stick together was to add an egg or two into the meat just before you cook it.
