Venison Burger Bowl Recipe

Ground venison, crispy potatoes, tomatoes, pickles, cheese, and special sauce some together in this easy to make Venison Burger Bowl recipe!

Summer vibes are in full swing with these irresistible Venison Burger Bowls! Now don’t get me wrong, we love a delicious and juicy grilled Venison Burger or Venison Steak. And a perfectly grilled chicken thigh will always hit the spot, but sometimes, it is necessary to just add everything to one bowl for a quick and easy dinner.

Picture this: juicy ground venison, seasoned to perfection, nestled in a bowl with a medley of creative toppings and a drizzle of our secret sauce that takes it to the next level. And let’s not overlook those golden, crispy homemade fries that add the perfect crunch to every bite. It’s like a taste of summer packed into one satisfying meal, even without the bun! As a busy mom you’ll love how easy and flavorful these burger bowls are to whip up.

We love a good cheeseburger, but we also are big fans of a good bowl meal. I mean what’s not to love? Delicious ingredients, one bowl, plus minimal clean-up, I mean SIGN ME UP! We love serving up my Mediterranean or Burrito Bowls for more quick and easy dinner options.

Get ready to elevate your burger game with our mouthwatering Venison Burger Bowls!

These bowls feature succulent ground venison infused with delicious seasonings (you could use ground beef too, or half and half). Top it all off with a selection of your favorite toppings—think fresh veggies, zesty sauces (highly recommend my special sauce recipe below), and maybe even a sprinkle of cheese for that extra indulgence. And of course, no burger bowl is complete without a generous serving of homemade fries, perfectly crispy and oh-so-satisfying. Get ready to savor the flavors of summer in every delightful bite!

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS TO MAKE BURGER BOWLS

Step 1: Begin by slicing your potatoes and rinsing them in a bowl of ice water. 

Step 2: Pat the potatoes dry well and add them to the basket of the air fryer and drizzle with the oil and sprinkle with salt. Toss well. 

Step 3: Cook the fries at 380F for 12-15 minutes until they’re crispy, flipping them about halfway in between. Set aside. 

Step 4: While the fries cook, continue by mixing together all of the ingredients for the burger mixture (EXCEPT the oil/butter) in a mixing bowl until well combined. 

Step 5: Heat the oil/butter in a large skillet over medium heat until hot. When hot, add the ground meat and cook until browned. 

Step 6: While the burger cooks, mix together all of the burger sauce ingredients. 

Step 7: Then, chop up your veggies for the salad and divide them evenly between 4 bowls.  

Step 8: When the fries and ground meat are cooked, place even amounts on top of each bowl, drizzle with sauce and enjoy!
