BACON BURGER... how much bacon do you use?

[Huntindad]

I will be making sausage next weekend and am gonna make some bacon burger. I have used about 10% bacon in the past and have heard that 20% is real good.

Let's hear what everyone uses as far as bacon percentage in their bacon burger.

The bacon I have is the peppered maple bacon. It is good.

curious also for next year! Do you just grind up the bacon like the venison?

yes, that is what I have done in the past. I used to get the box of bacon ends, but now I have the regular thick bacon.

I make it 70/30... that s 7 lbs of deer to 3 lbs of bacon.
I use wright's bacon ends and pieces.

Saw a place on Food Network that was 50/50. I'm betting that was the shizzle

is there such thing as too much bacon?

If I was going to make it, I'd like just add a little burger to the bacon.

Why mess up the best food on the planet with burger?

It honestly can get tiring. I don't do an entire deer in bacon. I have to space it out throughout the year so it doesn't get old. I'll mostly eat the brisket ground burgers then throw in the bacon burgers for a change of pace.

I make 50 deer 35 brisket 15 bacon ends

I'm real close to the same way. 50 lbs. of meat I would do 40 lbs. brisket and 10 lbs. bacon.

20-25% bacon
