This Venison Cheeseburger King Cake is a little late for the Mardi Gras season, but I know you guys will love it anyway!!

I love king cake! My parents would always order one during Carnival season. Being in New Orleans this year meant I got to go around and try to find my favorite one. I am not sure if I even want to share how many I had this year 😅.  

For those of you who don’t know King Cake is a cake like dessert, with cinnamon roll style bread, normally topped with icing and dyed sugar and/or sprinkles. It is sometimes stuffed with cream cheese or a variety of other delicious fillings. It is eaten during the Mardi Gras season from January 6th (Epiphany) to Fat Tuesday.  

One King Cake I had this year did stick out to me though. It was savory and stuffed with boudin 🤤. I knew then it was my time to give a take on this normally sweet staple.

I decided to go for a cheeseburger style of king cake with dyed sesame seeds and ketchup and mustard instead of dyed sugar and icing! It was delicious. I might have overstuffed the cake though 😅. This caused the cheese to ooze out and didn’t allow me to take a pretty picture of the whole thing. BUT, it was delicious!!!

Wait until next Mardi Gras to make it or just give it a shot out of season. Either way you will love this recipe! Let me know in the comments if you have any questions, comments, or requests. Most importantly ENJOY this meal like I did with some friends and some nice full bellies!

Ingredients

Browned Vegetables Ingredients

  • 3 red onions sliced
  • 1 yellow onion sliced
  • 2 large jalapeños sliced
  • 1 pinch salt
  • EVOO enough to cover pan

Meat Ingredients

  • 1/8 C favorite meat rub I used chupacabra seasoning
  • 1 T favorite steak seasoning I used weber classic grill seasoning
  • 1 T Worcestershire sauce
  • 1.5 lbs ground venison I used 90:10 venison to pork fat

Cake Ingredients

  • 32 oz velveeta cheese walmart has a great value version
  • 2 rolls pizza crust I used great value brand
  • flour for work station
  • 1 egg for egg wash

"Sprinkles" Ingredients

  • sesame seeds to desired amount
  • yellow food coloring mix with seeds until desired color
  • purple food coloring mix with seeds until desired color
  • green food coloring mix with seeds until desired color

Topping

  • ketchup to top
  • mustard to top

Instructions

Browned Vegetables Instructions

  • If you haven't already slice your onions and jalapeños.
  • Heat a pan to medium and pour in EVOO, enough to cover the pan.
  • Put in your vegetables and brown them. Add a pinch of salt in as well. (Other people use sugar, but I think salt helps bring out flavor).
  • While the vegetables are browning mix your meat and seasonings together.
  • Remove your browned vegetables from the pan and set aside.

Meat Instructions

  • Increase the heat to medium-high and add more oil to the pan, enough to coat. Add your meat and cook.
  • While cooking the meat, add your Worcestershire sauce and stir in.

Assembly Instructions

  • Throw a little flour around your work station. Take out your pizza crust and spread it out on the flour.
  • Build your cake layering the cheese in the center of the crust, followed by the vegetables, and then meat. Pinch the crust around it, like a log, and then flip it onto a oven safe pan, so that the seam side is down on the bottom.
  • Repeat this process and then combine the two logs together so that you have a longer oval like king cake shape.

Cooking Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Use your egg to make an egg wash and brush the top of your cake with it.
  • If you have not already mix your sesame seeds with the food dyes and then sprinkle on top of your cake. They might clump together. Just break them apart as best you can.
  • Cook for ~15-20 minutes or until golden brown. If the cheese melts out it's not the end of the world it just won't be as pretty.
  • Top with ketchup, mustard, or whatever else you have.
  • Cut into pieces and ENJOY!!!

I’ve been on a slider kick recently and these Beer Cheese Venison Sliders are a nice addition to the repertoire!

This kind of started with Kings Hawaiian reaching out to me asking if they could send me a care package, which I mean of course! I guess they’re doing a little media campaign because I’ve seen multiple Instagram pages get the same package I got.

They decided to send me their pretzel slider buns and I thought, what goes better with pretzels than beer cheese?? I decided to go to town with that idea. A little note on this recipe is I don’t drink. So, in making a beer cheese you can use a beer you like, or in my case, one I saw a lot of people on the internet recommending 😂.

I used a Yuengling, and the beer cheese turned out great! The burgers were very solid too.

Overall, they were quite tasty. This recipe makes a lot of beer cheese and burger meat, but if you half the recipe you’ll still have plenty of burgers to go around! Let me know what you guys think of the recipe and ENJOY.

  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne powder

Instructions

Burgers

  • Combine meat and seasonings.
  • Heat grill to medium temperature. Let meat rest while grill heats up.
  • Shape patties to a size that will fit your bun.
  • Grill 3-4 minutes each side or until done.

Beer Cheese

  • Melt butter over medium heat in a sauce pan.
  • Add flour and whisk to combine until smooth. Continue cooking this mixture for another minute to make a very light roux.
  • Slowly whisk in beer and milk.
  • Add garlic, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Stir for 4-6 minutes or until the back of a wooden spoon is coated.

Notes

* Add cornstarch to your cheese if you shred it yourself. Just toss it together. This helps absorb the excess oil.

A Buffalo Pheasant Burger gives you the healthiness of a chicken burger without the boringness of one.

It is crazy people think there’s only one way to cook an animal. If you were to ask someone their favorite way to cook pheasant, it would probably include some sort of cream of mushroom soup. I reject this premise and instead bring you a tasty burger recipe!

I might’ve stolen this idea from Hopdoddys, a chain burger place in Texas. I saw an Instagram ad for a new buffalo chicken burger, and it looked delicious! I decided I could do the same thing with pheasant.

Besides the tastiness of the burger, it is also topped with some cilantro mayo, and a carrot and celery slaw. As long as you have a grinder this is an easy recipe to duplicate!

If you have some pheasant burning a whole in your freezer, and you’re tired of your average soup, give this recipe a try! Let me know how it goes in the comments and ENJOY!

I follow Grillo’s Pickles on Instagram. They posted a picture of a burger the other week with a caption detailing their Grillo’s Burger showdown challenge. I love Grillo’s and decided I would throw my recipe and picture in the ring. I knew I had to create an epic recipe for it, and I mean EPIC. I wanted it to big and southern and absolutely drool worthy. I also wanted to attach my name to it, so I called it the WOAH burger (Wife of a Hunter Burger).

First, I had to figure out what meat I wanted to use since I am a wild game website lol. Looking around in my freezer I remembered someone had given me some Nilgai and I knew that would work great! I also decided I wanted to use the pickles three ways to really stand out. I have them just on the burger regularly, because why mess up a good thing? I have them fried. And I even minced them up and put them in the special sauce. They are just that dang good!! If you couldn’t tell by all the other recipes I have used them in, this one should show how good these pickles are.

Y’all. This burger is amazing. The special sauce, fried pickles and fried green tomatoes are truly out of this world. And I cannot say this enough, but Grillo’s pickles are the best (please sponsor me 😊). This burger truly has it all. I even spent several days trying to track down green tomatoes in San Antonio to make it just right. Something about a green tomato is just right on any kind of sandwich. This burger will be living rent free in my mind forever. Enjoy!!!!

Ogres are like onions. They have layers. And unlike Donkey, I think everyone likes onions! But moving on from paraphrased Shrek quotes into the actual recipe.

I decided I wanted to make a combination of a Wisconsin butter style and mustard fried burger. It’s like if Steak and Shake and In-N-Out had a delicious little gator baby. If you didn’t know, a Wisconsin butter burger has caramelized onions on top and the buns are basically covered in butter. Caramelized onions are a true gift. The way basically just onions and butter come together to make caramelized onions is truly something else.

But the onions and butter weren’t enough. I had been craving a mustard fried In-N-Out burger and decided to add that wrinkle in too, which if you haven’t gotten that off their secret menu…you need to. The caramelized onions with some melty Havarti cheese is good, but the mustard fried burger takes your tastebuds to a new level. This burger is so simple yet so delicious. It really hit that glutenous satisfying feeling I was after.

Mwah chefs kiss.

Author Sophie May

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs ground gator 80 % gator 20% pork fat back blend

Burger Seasonings

  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup yellow mustard just enough to lightly coat the burger

Caramelized Onions

  • 3 small yellow onions julienned
  • 4 tbsp salted butter
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp sugar

Toppings

  • hamburger buns brushed with butter and toasted
  • cheese I used Havarti

Instructions

  • I ground my gator with straight pork fatback at a 80/20 mix.
  • Preheat your grill to medium high heat. I used a cast iron grilling tray with the flat side up.
  • Cook the caramelized onions while your grill preheats.

Caramelized Onions Instructions

  • Heat a sauté pan to medium high and melt your butter in it. After the butter has melted place your onions in it.
  • This process will take a while. Stir your onions occasionally (every couple of minutes). Enough to keep the onions from burning.
  • Put in your salt and sugar after 10 minutes and turn the heat down to medium. Continue stirring every couple of minutes until caramelized. The entire process should take 30-40 minutes.

Burger Instructions

  • Combine ground gator with onion powder, black pepper, and salt.
  • Form into patties that fit your bun.
  • Brush one side of the burger with mustard and place that side down on the grill, then brush the other remaining side with mustard.
  • Cook for around 4-5 minutes before flipping and another 4-5 minutes after that. You are looking for an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • For the last 1-2 minutes place your cheese on top of the burger to melt it.
  • Place your burger patties on your toasted buns. Brush the tops of buns with butter if desired. Top patties with caramelized onions.
  • Add any additional toppings if desired and ENJOY!
