Wrap it up. I’ll take it! Wrapped Elk Mushroom Swiss Burgers are a game-changing alternative to a classic burger.

These wrapped ground elk burgers are delicious and super easy to make. Just a few simple steps to prepare before baking in the oven until golden brown. You’ll be rewarded with a juicy and mouthwatering burger that your taste buds will thank you for!

If you’re still looking for another spin to your ground game, try my Puff Pastry Antelope Cheeseburgers. They are similar steps to cooking, but I use a puff pastry sheet to wrap up the flavorful Canadian bacon and mozzarella cheese filling.

If you don’t have ground elk available – substitute with ground venison, ground antelope or ground bison.

In a bowl, season the ground elk with granulated garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Using your hands form 4 patties of equal size and set aside.

On a clean surface, roll out the pie crust and divide into 4 equal parts.

In the center of the pie crust add a slice of Swiss cheese, then the mushroom and onion mix, and top with an elk patty.

Pull the corners of the pie crust up and around the Elk Mushroom Swiss Burgers and flip over setting the seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
