Prep Time	Cook Time	Yields
15 minutes	10 minutes	8 burgers

For the Burger Patties:
- 2 pounds ground venison
- 2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon steak seasoning (optional; brings down the gamey taste)
For the Toppings:
- 8 burger buns (Pepperidge Farm Carmalized Onion)
- 8 slices of cheese (Colby Jack or your favorite)
- Fresh lettuce leaves
- Tomato slices
- Pickles
- Sliced onions
- Mustard and ketchup (or your preferred sauces)

Prepare the Patties:
- In a large bowl, combine the ground venison, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire Sauce, eggs, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined; do not overwork the meat.
- Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up while cooking.
  - Recommendation: You can also use a burger press to make the perfect 1/4lb burger.
Cook the Patties:
- Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your desired doneness.
- In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty and cover to melt the cheese.
Toast the Buns:
- While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a pan/ skillet for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Assemble the Burgers:
- Place a cooked patty on the bottom half of each bun. Top with lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, onions, and your choice of mustard and ketchup. Add the top half of the bun to finish.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve the burgers warm with a side of fries or a fresh salad. Enjoy your delicious homemade burger creation!
