Notes & Tips:
We are so blessed to get ground venison from our friends Kris & John. I usually use the deer meat for chili or sloppy joes (or sloppy does in this case), but we wanted burgers and had no beef. I liked the mayo that this recipe makes and the deer with little bits of jalapenos was great. They were not spicy since I took all the seeds out of the pepper. Overall a great weeknight meal.
