Who doesn’t love a good burger? These deer burgers, courtesy of Doulgas Hendershot, are slightly leaner, but equally tasty, alternatives to the traditional burger.

Ingredients

1 pound ground venison

1 pound fatty ground beef

1/4 cup bread crumbs

1 egg

2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion

1 tablespoon finely chopped green pepper

2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon liquid smoke

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions

Combine ingredients, and form into patties. Grill over medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes. At about the 4 to 5 minute mark, put a slice of smoked provolone cheese on top. Put on a bun, add your fixings and enjoy!
