Servings: 6 burgers
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds ground venison
- 1 ½ tablespoons light brown sugar packed
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 6 slices cheese optional
- Hamburger Buns
- Burger Toppings
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the ground venison, brown sugar, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until fully combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the meat mixture into 6 even-sized patties. Make a small indention in the center of each patty and place them on a sheet tray until you are ready to grill.
- Preheat the grill over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates. Place the burgers on the grill without them touching for about 3-5 minutes per side or until they reach your desired doneness. Flip the burgers and continue cooking for another 3-5 minutes or until your desired doneness.
- If you are using cheese: A couple of minutes before the burgers are ready, add a slice of cheese on top. Close the grill and let the cheese melt on top.
- Serve the burgers on hamburger buns with your favorite burger toppings.
Notes
- This is an extremely flavorful burger seasoning, and it also works well with ground beef, ground chicken, ground turkey, or even ground pork!
- Change up the flavor of your burgers by trying different spices and seasonings.
- I suggest not cooking these over medium-well (155°F) as venison meat tends to dry out, about 3-5 minutes per side.
- Ground venison is very similar in taste to ground beef, so it works well in dishes that call for ground beef.
