This Cheesy Venison Burger recipe turned out way better than I expected. I would have made them sooner in the menu rotation if I knew they would be this good.
Don’t worry; if you don’t want to go out and get venison, they would still be good with beef. But there is something about lean venison that oozes flavour and seems like much cleaner eating.
Since venison is what we had in the freezer, venison burgers are what we ate. I could have sworn I had ground beef, but I’m so glad it wasn’t beef! We added the shredded cheese and egg to the Cheesy Venison Burger recipe since ground venison, being so lean, may not always hold together for a burger patty. Of course, if you are using beef, this is not necessary but still delicious.
