How to Make Venison Bacon Burgers
- Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon, reserving about 2 tablespoons of bacon grease. Crumble bacon and set aside.
- Add minced garlic and chopped shallots to the skillet with the reserved bacon grease. Sauté until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the crumbled bacon, sautéed garlic and shallots, ground venison, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, salt, and pepper.
- Gently mix in the beaten egg until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Refrigerate the mixture for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and make the patties easier to handle.
- Preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
- Form the venison mixture into 6 equal-sized patties.
- Grill the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness, or longer depending on your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
- While the patties grill, brush the inside of the hamburger buns with olive oil or melted butter and lightly toast them on the grill.
- Serve the venison bacon burgers on the toasted buns.
- Top with your favorite cheese, additional bacon, sliced onions, and your favorite condiments. Consider a condiment bar for variety!
