Cooking Tips

• Make sure to handle the elk meat gently when mixing and shaping the patties to avoid overworking the meat.
• If you prefer a milder spice level, reduce the amount of cayenne pepper in the seasoning blend.
• For a juicier burger, add a tablespoon of olive oil to the meat mixture before shaping the patties.
• To prevent the burgers from sticking to the grill, lightly oil the grill grates before cooking.
• Feel free to customize the toppings and condiments to suit your taste preferences.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover cooked elk burgers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat the burgers, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until heated through.
• Serve the burgers with a side of fries, coleslaw, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
