Moose Burgers

Ingredients

Moose Burger Mix:
2 lbs ground moose meat
½ lb smoked bacon diced and partially cooked
2 cloves fresh garlic minced
2 whole Spanish onions caramelized
1 each egg yolk
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon ground pepper

Burger Toppings:
10 each Sesame seed buns
10 each iceberg lettuce leaves
2 whole tomatoes thinly sliced
1 bottle Smoke Show lightly smoked jalapeno BBQ sauce
1 block smoked cheddar sliced

Directions

Peel and slice the Spanish onion. Caramelize the sliced onions in a pan with a little oil until dark golden brown. Once dark golden brown, remove from the heat and set aside.

As the onions caramelize, dice the smoked bacon, and half cook it in a second pan. The bacon should be cooked but not crispy. Once cooked set aside along with the bacon fat.

Mix the ground moose meat with the caramelized onion, partially cooked bacon, egg yolk, garlic, salt, and pepper. Form the moose meat mixture into 10 burger patties by forming balls and then flattening them.

Cook the moose meat burger patties on a BBQ grill or pan fry them on the stove. Cook on each side for about 5 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 165F.

Before assembling the moose burgers, make sure you have sliced the tomatoes, cheese, lettuce etc. This is best done while the burger patties are cooking.
Assemble the moose burgers and serve immediately.
