instructions
    1

    Start by boiling a large pot of salted water. Add 2 cups of pasta and cook according to package instructions, usually around 8 to 10 minutes until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    2

    While the pasta cooks, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

    3

    Add minced garlic (3 cloves) and chopped onion (1 piece) to the skillet. Cook until they become fragrant and the onion is translucent, about 2 to 3 minutes.

    4

    Next, add diced bell pepper (1 piece) to the skillet and continue to sauté for another 2 to 3 minutes until softened.

    5

    Crumble in the elk burger (1 pound) and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes or until fully cooked. Make sure to break it apart into small pieces as it cooks.

    6

    Pour in 1 cup of tomato sauce along with 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning. Stir well, and let it simmer for about 5 minutes on low heat to blend the flavors.

    7

    Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing everything together until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and allow it to heat through for another 2-3 minutes.

    8

    Serve hot, and enjoy your Elk Burger Bowl with Pasta!

How to be creative
  • Substitute elk with another game meat like bison for a different flavor profile.

  • Top with shredded cheese or a dollop of sour cream for a creamy finish.
Important Tips
  • Make sure your skillet is hot enough before adding the elk for a nice sear.
  • Do not overcook the pasta; aim for al dente for the best texture.
  • Feel free to customize the spices according to your taste preferences!
