Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground deer meat
- 1 pound ground elk meat
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Cheese slices (optional)
- Burger buns
- Toppings: lettuce, tomato, pickles, and your choice of condiments
Instructions
- Combine ground deer and elk meat in a large bowl and add breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix well.
- Shape the mixture into equal-sized, 1-inch thick patties and let them rest for 10 minutes.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 6-7 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 5-6 minutes until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
- Transfer cooked patties to toasted burger buns and top with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and condiments of your choice.
Notes
- Leftover patties can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator or 3 months in the freezer.
- For best reheating results, grill or pan-fry the patties.
- Pair the burgers with crispy fries or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
