Ground elk recipes

[Reemus Buckshot]

I have some elk hamburger meat and wouldike to make some kind of stew or something out of it next week. I have never cooked with elk before. Does anyone have any hearty recipes? I will be taking it to the lake on a fishing trip next weekend and was hoping to make something to keep me warm.
Thanks.

well its hard to beat a good chili.i cheat most of the time & use chili magic by Bush's texas style.add onion & bell peppers & 1 can of diced mators for each can.brown & drain meat add & simmer.ground elk can be used in any recipe.i use deer in veg/beef soup often.just always brown & drain good in order to cut the grease.

You can use Elk in any recipe you use deer in, same family branch, the taste is slightly different than deer but very good.

I like ground elk in meatloaf... and in Tacos. I like it better than venison.

Hand mix it with a handfull of sharp Cheddar and a handfull of swiss cheese and cook just as you would a burger except cook on slower-lower heat and put a couple strips bacon on top on both sides. Do not cook past medium rare.

I also sometimes mix in a handfull of Jimmy Dean or any pork sausage.

Because it is deer meat, it has no larding and therefore tends to dry out unless you have it mixed with some fat or other fatty meat. Let it get too well done and it gets dry as all get out. That is why it goes so well in chilli and sauces. They keep it more moist.
