Instructions

  1. In bowl, mix dry ingredients.
  2. Add venison and mix well.
  3. Add liquid ingredients and mix well with a fork, until bread crumbs are barely noticeable.
  4. On plastic wrap, form into 8 (4 ounce) patties, making them round and very flat-- like a fast-food burger.
  5. They can be cooked immediately, but I prefer to freeze them first.
  6. Place them on a large cookie sheet and freeze them several hours.
  7. Remove from freezer and place waxed paper between each burger as you stack them.
  8. I stack them in 2 1-quart freezer zip-lock bags.
  9. Preheat cast iron skillet to very hot.
  10. Cook frozen burgers until they are slightly charred on one side (about 3-4 minutes) and then turn and cook until the other side is slightly charred and burgers are medium-well.
  11. Do not overcook.
  12. Turn burner off and leave burgers in the pan while you put condiments on your hamburger bun.
  13. If cooking thawed burgers, cook about 2-3 minutes per side.
