Instructions
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat,
In a medium bowl add the ground venison, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, egg and bread crumbs.
Mix together using your hands (using gloves if you prefer – otherwise, make sure to wash hands well before and after handling the meat.
Form patties using ⅔ cup of the meat mixture. First roll each into a nice and tight ball, then flatten each out using your hands.
Lay the venison burger patties out on a baking sheet, season all over with the Creole Seasoning, then take them to the grill.
Lightly spray the grill with cooking spray or oil the grill grates with a little olive oil. When the grill is heated, carefully add the burgers. Allow them to cook for 4-5 minutes, then flip the burgers to cook the other side for another 4-5 minutes.
Double check with a meat thermometer that the internal temperature in the center has reached at least 145°F for medium rare burgers. Add a slice of cheese for the final 1 minute of cooking time.
Melt the butter in a small bowl and brush over the inside of the brioche buns. Place these buns face down on the grill. Cook for about 2 minutes, until crispy and a nice char has formed.
Remove the buns and dress the burgers with toppings of your choice.
If using all venison, you can add a tablespoon or two of grated butter to your meat when mixing to increase the fat content. To freeze uncooked burgers: Place a square of wax paper in between each burger patty before it goes in the freezer. Use a freezer safe container and store for up to 6 months.
