• 453.6 g ground elk meat
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 4 slices cheddar cheese
• 4 buns burger buns
• 1 cup lettuce
• 1 medium tomato
• 1 medium onion

Method

1. 1

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground elk meat, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until well combined.

2. 2

   Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty, pressing slightly in the center to prevent puffing during cooking.

3. 3

   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

4. 4

   Grill the elk patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). If using cheese, place it on top of the patties during the last minute of grilling to melt.

5. 5

   Toast the burger buns on the grill for about 1 minute or until lightly golden.

6. 6

   Assemble the burgers by placing each elk patty on a bun. Top with lettuce, tomato, and onion slices.

7. 7

   Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious elk burgers!
