Venison burger can be a delicious way to eat venison, especially bucks that might have had a little age on them. In this recipe, we cooked the burgers on a Firedisc cooker. It is a cross between a wok and a griddle and makes it easier to control the rate of cooking and produces an excellent burger. You can also cook venison burgers on a grill or griddle, but we liked the convenience and flexibility of the FireDisc. Check them out here: https://www.firedisccookers.com/

You can come up with hundreds of venison recipes and the meat still sucks. I have heard and tasted many, including dill, Bacon, garlic, tomato, zucchini, cheese and on and on, it still sucks. It is what it is. If you like it, eat it, I prefer Buffalo (bison) less gamey and very lean.
I have one of those FireDisc’s they are great for this type of recipe. Venison chili is even better on the FireDisc!
