Patties:
- 2 pounds ground wild game meat
- 2 Tbsp Garlic, minced
- 1 Tbsp Worcestershire
- 1/4 cup onion, minced
- 1/2 Tbsp cracked pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
Special Sauce:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsp ketchup
- 2 Tbsp sweet pickle relish
- 2 tsp finely diced onion
- 1/4 tsp finely minced garlic
- 1 tsp white vinegar
- 1/8 tsp kosher salt plus more to taste
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
Fixings:
- Cheddar or American cheese
- Shredded lettuce
- Buns
- Pickles
- White onions, diced
Directions:
- In large glass bowl, mix game meat along with all other ingredients.
- Take a baseball-size handful of meat mixture and roll into ball. On a piece of parchment paper toss ball down, press down on the ball and with other hand follow along the sides to form a perfect patty. Continue this until all patties have been formed. Place all patties in fridge for 30 minutes before cooking. This is key.
- Preheat grill to high heat.
- Place the burgers on the grill and don’t touch! Once they’ve cooked for 5 minutes flip once. ONCE.
- The cheese is melted to the two bottom buns in the recipe, so when your burgers are almost done, toast your bottom bun with a slice of cheese and finish along with the burgers. You can do this on a baking sheet if you don’t want over crispy buns.
- Now we layer: bottom cheese bun, special sauce, pickles, onions, lettuce, burger patty, bottom bun, special sauce, pickles, onion, lettuce, burger, sauce, and top bun
- Enjoy!
