Steps

1. ### How to Make Bacon and Venison Burgers: A Step-by-Step Guide
3. #### Introduction
4. Venison is a lean, healthy meat that offers a unique flavor profile to your burgers. Combining it with crispy bacon can enhance its taste while adding a smoky, savory element. Follow these detailed steps to create delicious bacon and venison burgers.
6. #### Ingredients Needed:
7. - 500g ground venison (you can use a mix of 80% meat and 20% fat)
8. - 3 slices of streaky bacon
9. - 1 large egg, lightly beaten
10. - Salt and pepper to taste
11. - 4 burger buns
12. - Optional: cheese slices, lettuce leaves, tomato slices
14. #### Preparation Steps:
15. 1. **Preheat Your Grill or Pan:** Start by preheating your grill or a large pan over medium-high heat. Ensure that the surface is hot enough for the burgers to sear quickly and lock in the flavor.
17. 2. **Prepare the Venison Patties:**
18. - In a mixing bowl, combine the ground venison with the lightly beaten egg.
19. - Season with salt and pepper to taste.
20. - Mix gently but thoroughly; avoid over-mixing as this can result in tough burgers.
22. 3. **Shape Your Patties:** Divide the mixture into four equal portions. Form each portion into a patty, about 1-inch thick. Make sure they are slightly larger than your buns so that there's enough burger to make up for any shrinkage during cooking.
24. 4. **Cook the Bacon:**
25. - While preheating your grill or pan, cook the bacon slices in a separate pan over medium heat until crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and let them drain on paper towels.
26. - Optionally, crumble some of the bacon pieces and reserve for topping the burgers.
28. 5. **Cook the Burgers:**
29. - Place the venison patties on your grill or hot pan. Cook each side for about 4-6 minutes, depending on their thickness and how well done you like them.
30. - For a more robust flavor, you can brush the outside of the patties with a little bit of olive oil before grilling.
32. 6. **Add Toppings:**
33. - Once your burgers are cooked to your liking, add any desired toppings such as cheese slices (if using), lettuce leaves, and tomato slices.
34. - Place the bacon on top for extra flavor or crumble it over the burgers just before serving.
36. 7. **Assemble Your Burgers:**
37. - Top each patty with a slice of cheese if you added it earlier. Allow the cheese to melt slightly under the heat.
38. - Place the burger in the prepared bun, add any additional toppings such as lettuce and tomato slices.
39. - Serve immediately while still warm.
41. #### Tips for Perfect Bacon and Venison Burgers:
42. - Use fresh venison for the best flavor and texture.
43. - Keep your hands clean when shaping the patties to avoid transferring too much grease onto them.
44. - For a richer flavor, marinate the ground venison overnight before mixing it with other ingredients.
46. By following these steps, you can enjoy a delicious, unique bacon and venison burger that's perfect for outdoor gatherings or a cozy evening at home. Enjoy your meal!
