Print Recipe

Serves: 6-8
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

1 pound venison breakfast sausage
1 pound ground beef (85/15)
1 (1.06-ounce) packet McCormick Grill Mates Brazilian Steakhouse Marinade
Lawry's Seasoned Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
¼ cup white vinegar
½ cup olive oil
Dried minced onions, to taste
Colby cheese slices
1 Vidalia onion, sliced thin
Thin slices of crispy cooked bacon (optional)
Sweet Hawaiian Slider Buns
Mayonnaise
Shredded lettuce
Tomato slices
Stubb's Original (or Spicy) BBQ Sauce

Directions:

Mix first 7 ingredients together in a bowl and allow mixture to sit until room temperature.

Use your hands to easily mix together the ingredients. (Jeff Phillips photo)
Form venison mixture into little patties, each about 3 inches wide. Lightly coat one side of each venison patty with dried mined onions.

Making your own venison patties is such a gratifying feeling. (Jeff Phillips photo)
Grill venison sliders on hot grill. These venison sliders will cook fast, within about 5 minutes. Pull them off the grill as soon as they’re no longer pink.
Serve each venison slider on a Hawaiian bun with mayonnaise, a slice of cheese, a Vidalia onion slice, bacon (if using), shredded lettuce, a tomato slice, and BBQ sauce.

The great thing about this recipe is that the meat only takes around 5 minutes to cook on the grill. (Jeff Phillips photo)
