deer burger???

[Shootmoore]

As others said if not making patty's no reason to add the fat.  That being said I never know how I am going to make my burger when I grind it so we use bacon ends.  Just a hint of bacon makes for some tasty burgers.

My buddy adds cheap bacon to his and loves it. I have not tried it myself.

I grind half with no fat for tacos, chili, spaghetti, etc and the other half I add about 5% beef fat or mix in and 80-20 beef hamburger after I grind it (about 1 lb for 5 lbs deer burger).  This mix is purely for making burgers.

I don't mix anything in my burger and I use it mainly for patties, I usually add an egg into the mix when I cook it, I think that helps hold it together.

I just grind it up. Never mixed it with anything else.  Tastes great to me. Might even make fantastic spaghetti and meatballs.

We make sausage with all our deer trim, hamburger with elk, no fat.  This year we made Chirizo with the hind quarters of one of our deer, approx. 25 lbs.  It is very convenient to thaw and make tacos in the summer when it is warm outside and lettuce is ready in the garden.  It is hamburger with the taco spices already put in.  Yummy!

I made 25#s of deer burger so far this year. I mixed in about 5 pounds of pork sausage in mine just for a binder.
