"Grilled" Venison Burgers - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 1/2 lbs lean ground venison (preferably from a doe)
    1/2 cup egg substitute
    3 tablespoons non-fat powdered milk
    3 tablespoons water
    1/2 cup fresh breadcrumb
    1/2 cup chopped onion
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    1 teaspoon dry mustard
    2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
Preparation
    In bowl, mix dry ingredients.
    Add venison and mix well.
    Add liquid ingredients and mix well with a fork, until bread crumbs are barely noticeable.
    On plastic wrap, form into 8 (4 ounce) patties, making them round and very flat-- like a fast-food burger.
    They can be cooked immediately, but I prefer to freeze them first.
    Place them on a large cookie sheet and freeze them several hours.
    Remove from freezer and place waxed paper between each burger as you stack them.
    I stack them in 2 1-quart freezer zip-lock bags.
    Preheat cast iron skillet to very hot.
    Cook frozen burgers until they are slightly charred on one side (about 3-4 minutes) and then turn and cook until the other side is slightly charred and burgers are medium-well.
    Do not overcook.
    Turn burner off and leave burgers in the pan while you put condiments on your hamburger bun.
    If cooking thawed burgers, cook about 2-3 minutes per side.
