Looks good... Do you do jerky???
Title: Re: Stuck one and can't find it.....

Haven't messed with jerky too much.  Mostly the burger mixed with the spices and cure and shot through the tube style shooter. I do really enjoy just a simple venison steak done on the grill or broiler.  I do need to start experimenting with some marinades though.  

I did do some venison meatloaf (mixed with  some Italian sausage) and the regular egg, milk, breadcrumbs, onions, green pepper etc. Pretty good actually. Burger is tough to d much with unless it's in chili or spaghetti.

Who's got some good ideas for burger besides chili and spaghetti?

I forgot about my cheese / venison burger dip

Small container of velvetta cheese
A pound or 2 of burger

Melt cheese and brown burger. Drain

Combine cheese, burger. Add Tobassco and salsa to taste, maybe some cream cheese. Play around with the amounts until you get a thick, meaty dip.

A great dip for the game...with a cold one   :)

I've got a good burger idea.  I saw in a magazine where I guy made bologna with no casings.  He just rolled his ground meat into logs and wrapped his it in aluminum foil and baked it.  I tried it and it works awesome.
Go to the grocery store and get a bologna making kit with the curing salt and spices.  The ones I get do ten pounds of meat.  They are about 6 bucks. Mix your 10 pounds of meat and the salt, seasonings and required amount of water.  Roll into logs in aluminum foil. twist the end of the foil tight. I make mine about Ritz cracker size in diameter, so when you slice they fit perfect on a cracker.
Bake at 200 degrees for two hours or until the internal temperature hits about 180 degrees.
If you like bologna you gotta try this! I just made a bunch more tonight.  
Good Luck,
Jaz

I like to make meatballs, meat loaf, and italian sausage with burger. Just add a little ground pork to the burger with the appropriate spices and man it's goooood!!!

Lots of Mexican dishes can be made with ground venison. Burritos and tacos come to mind, some of my favorites...

Mix a little Mexican spices in when you brown the venison (red pepper, chili powder, paprika, coriander, cumin, cilantro etc.) Pick up some 8-10 inch flour tortillas. Load 'em up with Spanish rice, Pinto beans, lettuce, cheese, sour cream and some jalapeno peppers (guacamole and salsa too if you like)...roll it up tight and you got yourself some killer burritos.

Man, I'm getting hungry.

My wife hates store bought hamburger, she says it smells bad... Anything that she cooks that calls for ground beef, she uses ground venison. Yum Yum!!!!!

You got me too!

I have been enjoying a muledeer steak coated in flour and montreal steak seasoning and pan fried in just a dab of oil....

 I use deer hamburger in stroganoff too.

I do though turn most non steak venison into summer sausage- smoked and good with crackers and beer... yummmmmmmm

In my not so expert opinion, you should look near water in the morning and I think you'll find your deer.  ;)

Congrats!

LOL yea you got me JKMO/IL. Nice job on the doe. Congrats.

I make venison jerky, BBQ (out of both burger and steaks), tacos, chili, and venison goulash with brown gravy and peas on top of mashed potatoes.(never cared much for plain burgers or meatloaf out of ground venison)I also just like salt and pepper and generally avoid marinades.

I also like to cube some stakes sear them, make egg noodles and put the cubes on the egg noodles smothered in brown gravy ala beef tips.

I blend a mixture of Montreal Steak Seasoning and the plain old McCormick's broiled steak seasoning together..I take tenderloin "logs" about 8 inches long and coat the exterior with the mixture..patting it into the meat.

I then use a frying pan heated up, and add olive oil..a couple tablespoons..and after its nice and hot put the loin in, and turning it with tongs get the whole outside seared, so the spices are stuck to the outside.

Transfer to a plate, and take to your grill to finish it off medium..still pink inside, but HOT.
Slice, and enjoy. Don't do marinades that mask the great taste of venison.

For burgers I mince up some green onions and add them to the ground venison along with some bbq sauce, and salt and pepper.  Luv the trophy shots.

I make alot of breakfast sausage with deer burger.  First Take your burger and mix in some pork trimmings (About a 50/50 split) and add alot of sage to it.  I then add some crushed red pepper then I add a small amount of salt.    I make this in about 10 lb batches and freeze it in 1 lb  packages.   This is great for biscuits and gravy.
