Bambi Burger

[the blur]

So how do I make a bambi burger ?

I have a lot of different cuts from the butcher.

one is marked "ROAST Meat"

another is marked "STEW Meat"

Which cut is best to put through the grinder,

and mash them into patties  ?

I would use up your extra stew meat, I add pork fat to mine so it stays together better and also fat helps to add a bit of flavor, beleive it or not fat coats your toungue and makes things taste better. Thats why stuff like potato chips and french fry's are good. I add 25-30% fat to my mix some guys go 50%, its up to you and what you like. So in other words if you have 10 pounds of venisin add 3 pounds of pork fat. You can get it at any butcher shop usually but watch out for cost. Some places offer it at @$4 a pound and others down around $1.25 a pound.

Ofcourse you could not add fat at all too.

My wife adds a lot of veggies to the ground venison for making burgers.  We don't add any other meat or fat.  She chops up onions, celery, carrots, pretty much any veggie might do along with a little chopped up bread and it holds together pretty well.  Makes a pretty healthy and tasty burger.

That sounds a lot more healthy than pork fat.  My dad just had open heart surgery with a bypass, so the pork fat idea doesn't work for my family.

Well then its a good idea not to eat regular hamburger, venison is waaaayyy better than most any other meat as far as health concers.

if the pork fat is a concern I have used a couple egg whites for a pound of burger. it binds it pretty well. I think the egg whites are probably even on your Dad's diet

We don't put a thing into the meat, just love it the way it is!
