Blue Cheese Chipotle Venison Burgers

Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground venison
• 3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
• 5 ounces blue cheese crumbles
• 1 garlic clove, crushed
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 yellow onion, chopped
• 5 banana peppers, chopped
• 6 hamburger buns

Directions

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Mix venison, chipotle peppers, blue cheese, and garlic in a large bowl. Divide mixture into 6 equal parts and shape into patties.

Grill on the preheated grill until an instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into the center registers 160 degrees F, 5 to 7 minutes per side.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and banana peppers until onions are lightly golden, about 7 minutes. Top burgers with the onion mixture; serve with hamburger buns.
