Ingredients

  • 2 Pounds Ground Venison mixed with pork
  • 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Garlic Powder
  • 2 teaspoons Onion Powder
  • 1 Pinch Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1 Each Large Egg
  • Cup Bread Crumbs
  • 2 teaspoons Creole Seasoning or Seasonall
  • 6 Each Brioche Buns
  • 3 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • 6 Each Cheese Slices
  • Lettuce, tomato and red onions (optional)

Instructions

  • Turn on the grill to a medium heat, to heat up.
  • In a large bowl add the ground venison, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, egg and breadcrumbs. 
    2 Pounds Ground Venison, 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce, 2 teaspoons Garlic Powder, 2 teaspoons Onion Powder, 1 Pinch Red Pepper Flakes, 1 Each Large Egg, ⅓ Cup Bread Crumbs
  • Mix together using your hands (using gloves if you prefer – otherwise, make sure to wash hands well before and after).
  • Form patties using ⅔ Cup of the freshly mixed meat.  First roll into a ball, nice and tight, then start flattening out using your hands.
  • Lay them out on a baking sheet, season all over with the Creole Seasoning, then take them to the grill.
    2 teaspoons Creole Seasoning
  • Lightly spray the grill with cooking spray then add the burgers carefully.  Allow to sit and cook for about 4-5 minutes then flip the burgers to cook the other side, for again about 4-5 minutes.  Double check with a meat thermometer that the center has reached an internal temperature of at least 145°F – this will be a more medium rare burger.  Add a slice of cheese for the final 1 minute of cooking time.
  • Melt the butter in a small bowl and brush over the inside of the brioche buns.  Place these buns face down on the grill.
    6 Each Brioche Buns, 3 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • Cook for about 2 minutes, until crispy and a nice char has formed.
  • Remove the buns and dress the burgers how you prefer.  Serve with French fries.

    6 Each Cheese Slices, Lettuce, tomato and red onions (optional)

Notes

If you don't have a grill, these burgers taste good using a cast iron pan on the stove, or even in the oven.
If you don't like using your hands to form the burgers you could use a burger press to form the burgers.
