Delicious venison burgers with that "just grilled" taste right from your stovetop. Actually they are better cooked in cast iron rather than on the grill. And no one will know they are made from venison! Until I made these burgers, I never liked pre-formed, frozen burgers that I made. Now, my husband and I prefer these to beef burgers, and they are much lower in fat. I keep a supply in the freezer for quick lunches.
They can be cooked immediately, but I prefer to freeze them first.
06Place them on a large cookie sheet and freeze them several hours.
07Remove from freezer and place waxed paper between each burger as you stack them.
08I stack them in 2 1-quart freezer zip-lock bags.
09Preheat cast iron skillet to very hot.
10Cook frozen burgers until they are slightly charred on one side (about 3-4 minutes) and then turn and cook until the other side is slightly charred and burgers are medium-well.
11Do not overcook.
12Turn burner off and leave burgers in the pan while you put condiments on your hamburger bun.
13If cooking thawed burgers, cook about 2-3 minutes per side.
