Wilde Game Burgers

I am just not that in to bread, but that does not mean I dislike the Burgers. Instead of a Bun I will do it over Arugula/ Baby Greens or top it off with Avocado slices
Now I am fortunate enough to have a freezer full of Elk Burger meat but this is something I will also do with Bison or Grass fed Beef.
Ingredients

2 Lbs of ground burger (Elk/Deer/Bison/Beef)

1 Garlic Clove
-
1 Shallot
-
1 Whole Yellow Onion
-
1 Whole Bell Pepper (Yellow or Orange makes it a Fun )

1/2 Lbs. of Bacon
-
1/4 Lbs. of Cheese (Havarti or Blue cheese)
-
1 Egg
-
Wilde Texas Dry Rub
Tools

Chef Knife & Cutting Board

Burger Press (optional)
-
Large Bowl
-
Grill/ Smoker/ or Cast Iron pan for the Stove Top
Recipe
-
Pull Burger Meat and let temp come up.
-
Cube Bacon and cook in pan stove top. You will want to get it to a crispy level. Drain. Let sit atop a stack of paper towles and let temp come down.
-
Peal and mince 1/2 of garlic clove. Toss in Large Bowl.
-
Peal and Chop 1/2 Onion. Toss in Large Bowl.
-
Peal and mince Whole Shallot. Toss in Large Bowl.
-
Chop whole Bell Pepper. Toss in Large Bowl.
-
Chop down cooked bacon into bacon sized bits. Toss in Large Bowl.
-
Chop down the Cheese into small cubes. Toss in Large Bowl.
-
Add 2 Lbs. of Burger meat to the bowl
-
Add 1 egg white into the bowl. This will help bind all of the ingredients
-
Wash up your hands and get in there mixing the ingredients evenly
-
Use a burger press or your hands to create the patties. I like them thick so they come off the grill a perfect medium rare.
-
Space out and dust both sides with the Wilde Texas Dry Rub.
-
Get the grill up to temp.
-
Cook for 6 Mins. then flip for another 6. This will get you a nice pink medium rare.
-
Pull them and serve up with some fresh veggies or between a nice brioche bun.
