Weeknight dinners can feel like a constant scramble, right? Between school pickups, after-school activities, and just *life*, throwing something delicious on the table can feel like a monumental task. But what if you could make one extra batch while you're already cooking, and earn a little something for it? It's totally doable!

Wild Game Cook’s venison smash burger taco recipe is a total win – adults and kids both love them. They’re a fun twist on a classic, and the flavor is seriously satisfying. Plus, the recipe is adaptable – everyone has their own favorite condiments, so this is a great chance to use up what you’ve got in the fridge.

Double the Recipe, Share the Love (and the Income!)

Think about it: you're already making dinner for your family. Why not double the recipe and offer a batch to a neighbor, a friend, or another mom down the street? It's less than double the work, and you can easily earn $20-$50 a night through the Sovereign marketplace. Imagine – another mom across town gets a hot, delicious, home-cooked meal, and you get a little breathing room in your budget. It’s a win-win!

Venison Smash Burger Tacos: The Recipe

Here’s a breakdown of what Wild Game Cook showed us, with a few notes to make it even easier for batch cooking:

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Ground Venison (freshly ground is amazing!)
  • 6-inch Tortillas
  • Mayonnaise
  • Ketchup
  • Sweet Relish
  • Yellow Mustard
  • White Onion
  • Cheese (Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your family’s favorite)
  • Olive Oil
  • Hickory Burger Seasoning (or your preferred burger seasoning)
  • Lettuce (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the Burger Sauce: Combine mayonnaise, ketchup, relish, mustard, and diced onion. Adjust to taste. This is where you can get creative!
  2. Form the Patties: Divide the venison into thin patties. Wild Game Cook mentions how thin is key for a good sear.
  3. Season the Patties: Sprinkle the patties with Hickory Burger seasoning.
  4. Cook the Patties: Heat a skillet with olive oil over medium heat. Cook the patties until browned and crispy.
  5. Assemble the Tacos: Place a patty on a tortilla. Add cheese and let it melt.
  6. Finish & Serve: Spread the burger sauce on the taco. Add lettuce if desired. Enjoy!

Batch Cooking Tips for Dinner Angels

  • Double or Triple the Burger Sauce: This stuff is addictive! Make a big batch and store it in the fridge for quick lunches or snacks.
  • Freezer-Friendly Option: Cook extra patties and freeze them for future taco nights.
  • Sheet Pan Variation: For even easier cleanup, try cooking the patties on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
  • Consider a Slow Cooker: If you’re really feeling ambitious, you could slow cook the venison with some aromatics for extra flavor, then crumble it for the tacos.

Turning your weeknight cooking into a small business is easier than you think. That extra batch you make tonight could be a Dinner Angel’s dream!

Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely! Ground beef works just as well in this recipe. The flavor will be slightly different, but still delicious.

No problem! Use your favorite burger seasoning blend or a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Pre-shredded lettuce and pre-made burger sauce can significantly cut down on prep time. Also, consider using smaller tortillas for kids.
