Hey all, was wrapping up a few projects around the house today and wanted to keep dinner simple!

Had a couple packages of elk burger out, so figured a burger would be good!

Had two one pound packages out, so divided each package into two burgers. Infused in some grated butter and hit was some Kinder’s The Blend seasoning!

Folded in the seasoning and grated butter, then made the patties!

Cooked in the CI skillet with bacon grease! Had made some ABT’s yesterday, so warmed some of those up, sliced and topped the burger with those!

Built the burger with some Mayo, the elk and topped with the ABT’s! Also, had a half of avocado and some chips!

Looks great I love elk!! Love the grated butter idea.
Butter burgers are frick'in amazing!!!
Not only are they perfect for game meat, they are a must do with ground beef.

Freeze a cube or two of "good" butter then either use a cheese grater or food processor to pulse it into a gravel texture, then fold into the raw meat. You can also fold in minced bacon bits and smoked cheese into the meat for an amazing bacon cheeseburger. :emoji_metal:

Those look great! The abt's are a great topping idea. I may have to steal that one. Maybe one day I'll get lucky enough to draw an elk tag.

Thanks for the kind words and like! I do hope you can draw a tag!

Nan Justin, that's some dark, rich, tasty looking meat right there. Been wondering what to do with a pack of ground elk meat I have in the freezer :emoji_wink: I think you helped me figure it out.

Totally joking with ya man, I agree… the butter infusion makes an awesome burger! I’ll have to try the other options infused too… sounds tasty! 👊🏼👍🏼
