Post by: saylean on September 24, 2010, 11:00:24 AM: Here is one I made the other night...turned out pretty good!

Ingredients:

1. 2 lbs of ground elk burger (or any other burger)
2. 1 can of corn (or green beans are good too)
3. 4-6 Red skin potatoes (medium size)
4. Grated Cheese (soup bowl full)
5. 2 cans Cream of Potato Soup

Directions:

1. Brown elk burger in pan, drain as needed.
2. Put elk burger in bottom of casserole pan (medium size)
3. Pour cream of potato soup and corn over burger.
4. Clean and slice potatoes into "chips".
5. Lay potatoes (uncooked) flat over the top of burger/soup mix.
6. Preheat over at 350-400 degrees. Cover casserole dish in tin foil.
7. Cook for an hour to hour and a half, or until potatoes are tender with a fork.
8. 10 minutes before removing, spinkle shredded cheese over the dish.

Serves about 4
Enjoy!

I drained the corn...I would assume the same for the beans. The cream of soup adds the flavor, moisture.

I tried your the casserole with some small changes, we loved it. I pretty much followed your recipe but added cream of mushroom and caramelized onions on top of the meat, before the potatoes.

Thanks for sharing!

Post by: Widgeondeke on October 11, 2010, 10:19:40 AM: Well, I made this for the family this weekend. Wife loved it twice: 1-it was good (had 2nds), 2-she didn't have to cook. It was all gone. :EAT: No leftovers for me.
I used my antelope so it was a little drier than hoped for. Next time I'll either cut back on the meat or add add more soup.
Thanks for the recipe Saylean. It will be prepared again. :)

Post by: saylean on October 11, 2010, 10:30:45 AM: Its definetly not for a 'light meal'...its pretty heavy...the very first time I made it I used only a pound of meat, but the same other ingredients...I might like it better that way (as you mentioned cutting back on the meat)....glad you liked it!
