Elk Burger Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Elk Burger Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine ground elk meat, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are well combined.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the elk patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).

  4. 4

    Add Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burgers

    Toast the burger buns on the grill or skillet. Place each patty on a bun, and top with lettuce, tomato slices, ketchup, and mustard as desired.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the elk burgers warm with your favorite sides.
