Bobby Burger

Of course you can use lean beef for this recipe but venison is my choice for this burger. It doesn’t have a lot of fat so the meat doesn’t shrink. It stays the same size that you cut it. It’s almost like a Sloppy Joe, but better.

Servings

Ingredients

3 Tablespoons olive oil
2 pounds venison hindquarter diced into small cubes, any cut will work for this recipe
1 large onion finely diced
2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 Tablespoon soy sauce
1 Cup chicken stock
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons Kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
6 Hamburger buns
Dill pickles
mustard for serving

Instructions

In a cast iron skillet over high heat, add the olive oil. When the oil is shimmering, add the diced venison and stir until all the meat is browned.
Add onion, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, stock, brown sugar, salt, and pepper to the meat. Stir mixture until incorporated and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a medium-low and allow to cook until all the liquid has evaporated.
Using a slotted spoon, place a mound of meat on top of the bottom hamburger bun. Add sliced dill pickles and mustard. Place the top of the bun on the burger. Get out your napkins and dig in!
