Recipe Notes
To make Ground Venison:
Feed venison pieces into meat grinder. Evenly distribute roughly 15% cubed pork fat with the venison. Continue to add venison and fat into grinder. Perfectly marbled ground venison will pour out of your grinder.
To cook Burgers:
Shape ground venison into patties. Liberally salt and pepper both sides of burger.
Next, heat up your cast iron skillet (medium-high heat) and slap a big spoonful of lard into it (if you don’t have any lard, you can substitute bacon grease. Why you should save your bacon grease: here).
Once the lard is melted drop in your burgers and fry to perfection. 3-4 minutes per side does the trick around here.
