Lots of venison to use in this venison bacon burger recipe.   The bacon adds the right amount of flavor to keep the venison from tasting dry or gamey.

Ingredients:

6 slices bacon, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 shallots, minced
2 pounds ground venison
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
salt and pepper to taste
1 egg, beaten to mix
6 hamburger buns

Directions:

• Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until browned and crispy.
• Pour bacon and grease into a heatproof bowl and allow to cool.
• Heat olive oil in skillet then add garlic and shallots. Cook and stir until softened, then add to bacon.
• When cool, mix in venison, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, salt, pepper, and egg until evenly combined.
• Refrigerate for 20 minutes. Shape into 6 patties and grill to desired wellness.

The venison burgers go great on wheat or deli buns with a touch of mayo, some lettuce, tomato, onion and mustard.
