Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Ground Venison
- ½ Yellow Onion, Thinly Sliced
- Your Favorite Steak Seasoning
- 1-2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
- 4 slices American or Cheddar Cheese
SmashBurger Sauce (Optional)
- ½ cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Dill Relish
- 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
Toppings
- 4 Lettuce Leaves
- 1 Tomato, Sliced
- 12 Pickle Slices
Instructions
- Mix together the ingredients for the smashburger sauce in a small bowl then set aside.
- Divide ground venison into 4 sections. Roll each section into a meatball.
- Heat a griddle or cast iron skillet to high heat.
- Add a little oil then add sliced onions in four different areas of the griddle. Allow them to cook for a few minutes, then flip. Top each onion section with a venison meatball and use parchment paper and a griddle press to smash the venison meatball as flat as possible. Once it’s flat, season each burger with a steak seasoning to taste and a drizzle of Worcestershire sauce.
- After the burgers are smashed and seasoned, cook for 1-2 minutes. Then flip and finish cooking for about 2-4 minutes until desired done-ness. Add cheese during the last minute of cooking. If you have a dome lid – that helps to melt the cheese.
- Serve on a toasted bun with the SmashBurger sauce and your favorite burger toppings.
