Ingredients

• 1 pound ground venison
• 0.25 pound ground pork
• 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 cup yellow onion, finely grated
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.25 cup bread crumbs
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 pieces hamburger buns
• 4 pieces lettuce leaves
• 1 piece tomato, sliced
• 4 pieces cheddar cheese slices

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground venison, ground pork, minced garlic, grated onion, Worcestershire sauce, bread crumbs, chopped parsley, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.

Step 2

Mix the ingredients gently with your hands until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the burgers tender.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into four equal portions, shaping each portion into a round patty about 3/4 inch thick.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.

Step 5

Place the patties in the hot skillet, leaving space between each burger. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on the first side without moving them.

Step 6

Flip the patties and cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for well-done burgers.

Step 7

If using cheese, place a slice of cheddar on each patty during the last minute of cooking and cover the skillet with a lid to allow the cheese to melt.

Step 8

Remove the patties from the pan and let them rest for a few minutes while you prepare the buns.

Step 9

Toast the hamburger buns lightly in the skillet or use a toaster.

Step 10

Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a cooked venison patty, a slice of tomato, and the top bun.

Step 11

Serve immediately with your favorite condiments and sides.
