    oh, and as for burgers, it depend on my mood. sometimes i will spice em up, sometimes i will grill em plain, sometimes i will stuff em with cheese (like bleu cheese).

    as long as they arent overcooked and dried out, that is what matters. i will be grilling tomorrow, and i have yet to decide how to make the burgers. i'll figure it out right before i throw em on the grill.

    We would grind venison with beef fat from the old Piggly Wiggly. That worked real well.

    I use ground venison for tacos a lot. It just crumbles really well. I pretend I'm eating at the run-down stand as you cross from TJ to San Diego. I drink only bottled drinks; No water.

    I do the same thing when I make chili. No reason at all it won't work for burgers. Next time I do the half and half with the burgers.

    Chopped onions, Pick-a-peppa, and an egg mixed with the beef is a must. And I always use creole/spicy brown mustard and pepperjack cheese on top. Can't go wrong with that.

    You don't need the egg if you use 80/20. The egg is a must when you use lean meat.

    I find high quality 85/15 with no egg works great.
