Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds ground venisonor ground beef
- 1/4cup steak saucechoose your favorite brand
- 1/2 oniondiced
- 1 green bell peppersliced into thin strips
- 4slices cheesechoose your favorite kind
- several of your favorite burger toppings
- several of your favorite condiments
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking dish, that has at minimum 1″ walls, with foil. In a large bowl mix together ground venison, steak sauce, and diced onions. Form into patties and place in the foil lined baking dish. Put sliced peppers in the spaces between the burgers. They will fry in the juices as the burgers bake. Bake for 20-30 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F and juices run clear (for either beef or venison). Flip the burgers once at their halfway mark. Add cheese slices for the last couple minutes of baking time. Place on hamburger buns with your favorite toppings and condiments. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
*Venison tip: Don’t make the patties too large – because it is very lean meat they will not shrink much while cooking.
*Alternative for onions: Instead of mixing the onions into the ground venison, sautee the onions next to green peppers and add to burger as a topping.
