Ingredients
1 lb. ground venison (makes 2 or 3 patties)
1 slice of bacon diced into small pieces
2 sweet onions, cleaned and sliced
1 container crumbled blue cheese
1 garlic clove
Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation
1
On a covered frying pan, place the sliced onions on low and allow to caramelize.
2
Add garlic and remaining blue cheese until melted.
3
Mix burger with salt, pepper, bacon and two tablespoons of blue cheese.
4
Make desired size patties (make them a little larger because it’s an open face – no top bun).
5
To keep burgers from falling apart while cooking, place thumb print in middle of burger to keep from shrinking as it cooks.
6
Place burgers on grill and cook until medium. Remove, cover and let rest for 5 minutes.
7
Serve on open face bun, topped with caramelized onions and bleu cheese crumble.
