Decided that I needed to use up some ground venison that is over a year old.... (I know....)..

After defrosting the venison, I decided to grind up some bacon and blend it in along with some cheese, into the ground venison.

Made into patties and rolled in coarse ground pepper.

They are resting now in the Fridge.  Going to grill on the PBC with some post oak.





Thanks for lookin

The burgers are done and all but one gone.

I cooked them until the IT was 150 degrees, rested and served them with homemade potato salad and some grilled shrooms and onions.  I paired mine up with a fresh Pliny the elder (my favorite beer).

The burgers were awesome, the bacon kept them moist and added a great flavor profile.



The buns were a bit big....otherwise it was great!

Looks like a real good burger Jason--the one that's left.  LOL.  I see what you mean about the bun.  I always just use that as an excuse to make the patties bigger too.

I do like deer burgers and grinding and mixing in the bacon is a great idea--that would get the flavor all through the burger.

POINTS for a great idea.

The buns from the bakery were just too big.  I made the patties about 1/2 or more each!

This was the first time I had ground bacon, and blended it into ground meat.  Typically I use Pork Shoulder or straight Belly.  It was a little weird to grind, but worked out.

Thanks for the point.
