Start the Onions and Mushrooms

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