  3. Set 2 pans on low heat. Add onions to one pan and the mushrooms to another. Let cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until nicely caramelized and moisture is gone from mushrooms.

Make The Venison Burgers

  1. Take the ground venison and combine it with with a cracked egg and mix together.
  2. Add in the diced onions and diced mushrooms, and mix until all the ingredients are fully combined.
  3. Shape the patties your desired size and thickness. (*See Note 2)
  4. Heat your pan to medium heat, and melt butter in the pan before adding your patties.
  5. Season the patties on one side, and put the seasoned side down. Then season top side.
  6. Let cook until moisture begins to pool atop the patties, then flip.
  7. If you are making additional toppings, cook or prepare, and then serve!

Notes

  • Note 1: Brian suggests using Lawry's Seasoned Salt and black pepper.
  • Note 2: Add a little thumb indention at the top of the patty so the moisture from the meat will stay in the burger and it will be extra juicy!
