Steps

Prepare Onion Jam

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced red onions and sauté over low heat for about 20-25 minutes until completely soft and starting to caramelize. Add the brown sugar and balsamic vinegar, then cook for another 15-20 minutes until thickened and jam-like. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then set aside.

Cook Patties and Bacon

Mix the ground venison with salt and pepper. Form into 4 equally sized patties. In another pan, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Fry the bacon slices until crispy, then set aside on a paper towel. In the remaining fat, cook the venison patties for 4-6 minutes per side, depending on your desired doneness. In the last minute, sprinkle with blue cheese and let it melt.

Toast Buns and Assemble

Halve the burger buns and toast them cut-side down in the pan or a toaster until lightly golden. Begin assembly: place arugula or lettuce on the bottom bun, top with the blue cheese venison patty, then crispy bacon, tomato slices, and finally a generous spoonful of onion jam. Cover with the top bun and serve immediately.

Extra Tips

► You can prepare the onion jam in advance; it keeps in the fridge for up to a week, making your burger assembly quicker.

► If you like a smoky flavor, you can grill the patties instead of pan-frying them.

► Experiment with other cheeses, such as goat cheese or smoked cheese, if blue cheese is not to your liking.
