These are great! Mine came out a little mushy (because I cut the recipe down and wasn't quite sure how to use 1/6th of an egg, or whatever it was), but they were still so amazing! I always hated venison when I was younger, but using this recipe, it was actually super tasty.

This recipe makes a very good burger. I did not have shallots on hand so I used onion, otherwise stuck pretty close to the recipe. It helps to keep the burgers held together if frozen first. Also, a well oiled grate and cooking at a lower temperature for a longer period of time works well. For best results, never cook venison beyond medium rare.

These are by far the best venison burgers I've ever made! I followed the recipe exactly. My husband raved about these and the kids really enjoyed them too!

I took my son hunting in December and our host made PURE venison burgers, nothing added, so we used lots of ketchup in order to swallow. After our trip I used this recipe and it worked very well. For the purist is does make it a little less authentic, but I loved the combination. I couldn't get shallots at the time, so we used onions. This is also a great option for those who are not totally GAME on venison.

Super Yummy! I used onion b/c I was out of shallots and it was still excellent. A great burger recipe. My 2 year old ate a whole buger and he is super picky when it comes to meat! Thanks for sharing.

My husband said this was probably the best burger he ever had! I cut the bacon up with my kitchen shears and cooked it with the onion and 2 cloves of garlic. Other than that, I didn't change a thing. I'm thankful for the 3 burgers we have left over for lunch today!

We are always looking for ways to use our deer meat. We never grill burgers as they are always a little dry. Well, this recipe was awesome! My husband and kids loved these burgers! So moist and delicious. We will definitely have these again and again!!

I don't like venison, but I make these for my husband and he loves them! I didn't change anything about the recipe. I've done these with beef as well and they're awesome!

I added some feta cheese to the hamburgers...thought they were a nice change from the usual seasoned venison hamburger.

I've never liked venison burgers (and swore I'd never eat them again), but this recipe is most excellent and I'm so glad I tried it. The 5 and 3 year old ate theirs gone. I'm actually looking forward to making these again! The only modification I made was to use onions instead of shallots. Thank you so much for the recipe.

My husband is an avid hunter so we always have plenty of venison year-round. These are a nice change from the venison burgers I usually make. The bacon adds a great flavor and provides the needed moisture to the meat. (Venison can be on the dry side if not prepared correctly.) I did not add cheese, but it is something I think I might try next time around; just mix shredded cheddar in with the meat mixture before grilling. I also think this recipe could be converted into a meatloaf with fabulous results. I may play around with that idea as well.

I was a little skeptical about making venison burgers, but came across this recipe and thought I'd give it a try. It was soooo good! My BF loved it, even my very picky 9 year old niece liked it. Will definately make it again!!!
