Excellent recipe worth the work. I used 1 lb. venison 1 lb. ground beef. Will be added to my favorite burger recipes.

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.

We made these for dinner and what a very good, moist and delicious burger. Our teenage boys loved them too.

This makes an exceptional venison burger - have made them 3 times now and always delish!!! We get out venison from family as my hubby does not hunt (kind of wish he would now that I've had these!!) Kids love them!!

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!!!

Wow I have never had venison (and was hesitant to try it) and my husband has never cooked it. This recipe was perfect for us! He made mini burgers but didn't change anything. They were amazing and definitely a recipe we will have again.

Probably the best burgers we have ever had! We now have them once a week and I have shared this fantastic recipe with all my family who are all deer hunters! I wish I could be there to see their faces when they eat them! Did not change a thing with the recipe. Thank you so much!

This was my first time ever cooking any kind of Venison. After reading the reviews I thought I would give this recipe a try. I was so impressed with the taste, flavor, ingredience used, texture, etc. This is a winner and I will prepare this over and over again. I followed the recipe and didn't change anything.

Very good and moist burgers. The bacon really added a nice rich taste to the venison.

Wonderful!! I cut recipe in half and still got 6 burgers out of it (well, 5 1/2). Also, I broiled the bun with cheddar cheese and bleu cheese crumbles until melted- great addition! Whole family loved these burgers. Thanks!

When my dad used to make us eat venison when we were growing up, my siblings & I hated it. A friend gave us some ground venison & allrecipes.com did not let me down. These were easily as good as any beef burger I've had, & best of all my kids ate it without hesitation. Thanks!

Great recipe.... I agree that the burgers were a litttle large so I changed my last batch to make thinner wider burgers and grilled them a little less. Perfect!!

Very delicious and juicy. Made as per recipe and the burgers were huge (even for the hubby)! Next time I will form 8-10 patties instead. This is my attempt at trying more venison recipes with the freezer full of meat I have acquired!

These are some of the best burgers we have ever tasted. I omitted the olive oil and just sauteed garlic and shallots in some of the bacon drippings. We live in the north woods and always have venison in the freezer. What a great way to use the ground meat. Thanks for sharing. kathvo
