Deer burger.
« on: November 29, 2009, 09:03:26 PM »
Made my first deer burger today.  Ground 8.5lbs of venison with two packages of smoked bacon by hand.  Had to cook up some burger patties to see how they taste...Fantastic!  :drool:  I will definitely do it again on the next deer.   Grinding the burger really makes it so you can use every last bit of meat.  Anyone else make burger from venison?  I dont hear much about it.

Yeah, deer burgers rock! Just had some tonight! Mixed in some onions, garlic, Johnny's Season Salt, Worchestershire sauce, beer and bacon. Heaven on a bun! :chuckle:

I make it every year. Wilde game is pretty much the only meat I eat.  Cant beat making your own burger. You can use it for everything.

Does anyone not make burger (or sausage, etc.) from their venison?  I assumed everyone did with the "non-steak" stuff.

You are probably right.  I just never hear many people mention it.  You always hear about steak, stew, sausage, jerky, roast and such but not much about burger.   :dunno:

It's definitely a staple in our house!   :)  And I skip the bacon (as I know some do that)--I love the meat partly because I know how healthy it is...

I raise my own beef so I have a ton of burger.  As far as deer and elk, I make as many steaks and roasts as possible and all of the trimmings are made into sausage and pepperoni, no burger.

I cut all the good meat into steaks and everything else is burger. Normally don't waste it on stuff like sausage and pepperoni. I just like the burger too much to use it for anything else.

I added the bacon so that it would cook the same as beef.  Dont mind a little fat for a few meals.

MMMMMM!  "Beer burger...."     :drool:   I like those too Polarbear.   :chuckle:  (OK, change your typo......)

A little olive oil in the pan for frying the onions and burger, you don't need the bacon or pork shoulder or whatever additives.

Ill try that next time.  The smoked bacon is pretty awesome though.   :chuckle:

Yeah, the bacon gives it a nice flavor but it's good with or without it. Love those deer burgers! Venison steaks tonight! :drool:

I agree.

I grind all non-steak meat (if I don't pressure can it) with pork butt. I do this will deer, elk and bear. Sometimes I mix all those together with pork and sometimes a bit of beed suet.

In the next few months we will be grinding over 250 lbs of burger between a few of us.
