Calories: 216kcal
Equipment
- sheet pan
Ingredients
Burgers:
- 1 lb ground venison
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion granules
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoon lard
Other Ingredients:
- 6 slices cheddar cheese, cut in half or in smaller squares/rectangles
- 12 brioche slider buns (toasted - optional)
- 4 small tomatoes, thinly sliced
- 4 leaves leaf lettuce, cut into approx 3"x3" pieces
- 1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
- mayonnaise, for serving
- ketchup, for serving
Instructions
- If meat is frozen, allow it to thaw enough to pull it out of the package. Then place the meat in a paper towel-lined bowl and allow to thaw overnight. Letting the liquid drain out of the meat will help the burgers stick together.
- Once meat is thawed, add in worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion granules, salt, and pepper. Mix together by hand until well-combined.
- Divide meat into 4 equal parts. Then divide each quarter into 3 equal parts and roll into balls. You should have 12 balls total.
- Cut a piece of parchment paper into a rectangle the size of your griddle. Don't cut it too big or it could catch on fire!
- Heat cast iron griddle over high heat. Add lard to pan and spread it around so the whole griddle is coated.
- Place meatballs on griddle spaced evenly. They'll need space to be smashed into burgers.
- Place parchment paper over meatballs and press down with a sheet pan. Apply pressure all of the sheet pan to make sure you press them all evenly. Don't be afraid to really squish them!
- Cook for 2-3 minutes, then flip. As soon as you flip them, top with cheese. Cook an additional 2-3 minutes and remove from griddle.
- Spread mayo on each bun half. Place cheeseburgers on bottom halves of buns. Top with ketchup, onions, lettuce, and tomatoes. Enjoy!
