I have to get a grinder. but I have about 5 pounds of trim plus another pound maybe pound and half of beef fat I am going to add to it.

sounds good get that grinder you can get a cheap hand model for like 40 or 50 bucks or a cheap electric for about 75 to 125

Well it sounds like you have some good eating there.

it is, just had some for dinner tonite;)

You may want to try Boston Pork Butt with it. I usually don't add it unless I'm going to make burgers. The rest of the ground meat has no additional fat in it. I actually prefer as little as possible for tacos, casseroles, etc. A friend turned me on to using 1/3 pork butt, which you can catch on sale really cheap. It has plenty of fat to hold them together and I think they taste just as good as any other burger you can make.

I am a meat cutter, and I can get beef fat for free. just waiting for my uncle to bring his grinder over tonite

I know this is a little more expensive but if you don't have any fat on hand orin a hurry go to the local supermarket and buy some 70% hamburger. This has enough fat in it to mix to make deer burger. It'susually $1.20-1.50 a pound (I purchasedtwo 5lbs packs for $12.00 dollars).

Now mix this with your deer burger (the % depends on ones taste) and double grind it. Now you will have some great tasting ground meat with just enough fat in it. This works very well if the venison is a little strong, the beef will tame it downsome so the rest of the family,even the kids, will like it.

I find beef fat too dry to mix for burger and have always used a ratio of 25% fatty pork trim with moose and elk .Never cared for deer burger.I've burned out several electric grinders until I got a commercial model..............time will tell as to it's life span.........Harold
