Recipe FAQs and Notes
Can I use other ground meat instead of elk?
Yes, you can use other ground meat such as venison, beef, chicken, or turkey. However, elk has a distinct flavor and tends to be leaner than some other meats, making it a healthier choice.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
This recipe is best served fresh, but you can prepare some of the ingredients in advance, such as chopping the vegetables or mixing the sauce.
