We all love to grill and some more than others, and while summer is a big grilling season several of us enjoy cooking out on the grill all year long. There is something celebratory about entertaining family and friends when you fire up the grill outdoors whether it’s in the comfort of your own backyard, a public park, or a favorite hunting campsite.

Nevada Foodies elk burgers

Some popular foods to grill include a variety of meats like elk and beef, vegetables and seafood, but hamburgers are the most popular of all foods when grills are fired up. And why wouldn’t they be? Hamburgers are easy to make, relatively inexpensive and they just taste great. Not to mention, they are truly adaptable. You can add variations of condiments and toppings like I do in my Onion Stacked Elk Cheeseburger recipe.

For these burgers, I use two pounds of ground elk meat divided into 6 equal portions before forming the patties. To help the lean meat from sticking on the grill, I like to brush each side of the patty with olive oil before seasoning with salt and freshly ground black pepper.  Since elk is best cooked to medium rare or medium, I cook these burgers for about 4-5 minutes per side and sometimes use a meat thermometer to measure the internal doneness. Then I top each one with a slice of cheese and a stack of golden fried onions.

Place the onion stacked elk burgers between a hamburger bun and then pour your favorite barbecue sauce over the top and you’ll find another reason to get fired up about grillin’.
