Thinking of doing my own burger with a deer I took in MS this past weekend. Buddy of mine was saying he does 5 pound deer to 2 pounds boston butt for his burger. Anyone got any tips?
For chili, spaghetti sauce etc you don't need to add anything to it. I use 100% venison for that.
For hamburgers i'll mix 20% beef burger when I patty it out. Some prefer 100% venison for their hamburgers but I prefer a little beef burger mixed in to keep it from falling apart.
Grind a few strips of bacon with a few pounds of deer meat and it holds together great. The best was when I diced jalapeños and mixed with the meat and stuffed the patties with cheddar cheese and put more cheese on top of the burgers. Man those were good
