WILD GAME BURGERS



Wild Game Burgers image

It might seem strange to find something as simple as a game burger recipe in a cookbook, but in my opinion, burgers deserve every sentence that's ever been written about them. They are just that good. In fact, I've probably eaten more pounds of wild game as burgers than any single other preparation...

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lbs. ground meat (90 percent lean game meat and 10 percent pork fat)
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil
Sliced cheddar cheese (optional)
Kaiser rolls toasted on the grill
Lettuce leaves
Tomato slices

Steps:

  • Prepare your grill for direct heat.
  • Form the ground meat into six patties 3/4 to 1 inch thick. Season each patty on the outside with salt and pepper on both sides. Drizzle lightly with oil.
  • Set the patties on the grill and close the lid. Grill for 4 minutes on the first side; time it.
  • Don't touch the burger once you set it on the grill, or it will fall apart. When you lift the lid, it will release easily. Flip the burger and cook on the second side about 3 minutes more for medium rare, 4-5 minutes for medium, or until it's done to your liking. You can also use a meat thermometer: 120° for rare, 130° for medium, and 140° for well done.
  • Remove the patties from the grill and serve immediatelyIf making cheeseburgers, top the patties with cheese after you flip them. The cheese will melt while the bottom cooks.
  • Serve the patties on toasted kaiser rolls with lettuce and tomato; add mustard and ketchup if you like. And start telling stories about that deer you killed and butchered all by yourself...

GAME DAY BITES

These mini hamburgers taste very similar to the popular mini fast food burgers! We make them every year for the Big Game, but they are great any time. They can be made ahead and frozen until needed.

Time 40m

Yield 24

1 pound ground beef chuck
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon mayonnaise

  • In a medium bowl, thoroughly mix ground beef chuck, Cheddar cheese, mayonnaise and dry onion soup mix.

If you purchased the rolls in aluminum foil pans, you may return them to the same pan for baking. Otherwise, place them on a baking sheet or baking pan. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil.
  • Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven, or until meat is cooked through.

Tips for Making the Perfect Game Day Burger:

  • Choose high-quality ground beef. Look for a blend that is 80% lean and 20% fat for the best flavor and texture.
  • Season the beef simply. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all you need to enhance the flavor of the meat.
  • Form the patties gently. Overworking the beef will make the burgers tough. Just mix the ingredients together until they are well combined and form the patties into loose balls.
  • Cook the burgers over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from drying out. If you are cooking the burgers on a grill, cook them over indirect heat for the first few minutes to prevent flare-ups.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness. The safe internal temperature for ground beef is 160°F.
  • Top the burgers with your favorite toppings. Cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles are all classic choices.

Conclusion:

Game day burgers are a delicious and easy way to feed a crowd. With a little planning and preparation, you can make burgers that everyone will love. Experiment with different toppings and flavors to create your own signature burger.
