deer burgers
I need some suggestions on the ratio of ground deer to fat. How much fat to pound of burger?Also what kind of fat? I've heard of pork, beef, and some say nothing. What is best for burgers?

I know the local butcher (makes great sausage, hamburger etc.) uses pork sausage and mixes it so it looks similar to store hamburger.

WHat I typically do is go to the local butcher and get fat pieces from pork. Sometimes he charges, sometimes he just gives them to me. I honestly don't know a ratio....I bone the deer, cut the meet into about 4 inch chunks so it'll fit into my grinder then throw three or four chunks of deer in then a chunk of fat. Also... if mixing stuff in, be sure to at least double grind it so that it is all mixed well. A butcher should be able to give you a good estimate for how much to mix in. Good luck

I use ground pork and put 1/2lbs to 3lbs of venison. I not a fan of fat in the venison.
|
I mix hamburger with deer burger to hold it together.
|
My favorite way is to grind 2 lbs of bacon with 10 lbs of venison burger. Makes nice juicy burgers.
|
I typically go 50%/ 50%...it really helps to keep the burgers together. I use 90% lean hamburger.

All the venison I grind I mix with 80/20 beef burger. 30 lbs. of venison to a 15 lb. tube of beef. Excellent burger

Thanks guys. This has been very helpful. You'll have a great season and hope to see some pics of some monster bucks.
