Ground elk is a lean and tasty alternative to ground beef. Chopped bacon adds a bit of fat to make these burgers ultra-tender, while red wine brings out the richness of the elk.

Ingredients

Elk Burgers:

Method

In large skillet, melt butter over medium heat; cook onions, thyme, sugar, salt and pepper, stirring occasionally, until onions are tender and golden, about 25 minutes. Discard thyme; set onions aside.

Elk Burgers: Meanwhile, in large bowl, combine bacon, bread crumbs, garlic, wine, mustard, salt and pepper; mix in elk just until combined. Shape into four 3/4-inch (2 cm) thick patties.

Place patties on greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and grill, turning once, until digital rapid-read thermometer inserted into centre of several reads 165?F (74?C), about
14 minutes.

Place cheese slice on each patty; cover and cook until cheese is melted, about 2 minutes.

Spread each cut side of hamburger buns with 1/2 tsp mayonnaise. Sandwich tomato, burger and caramelized onions between buns.
