I am fortunate to get a supply of ground elk meat every winter from my father in-law, who is an avid hunter, and so thought I'd share a favorite recipe. You can substitute beef, pork, venison, chicken, or any other ground meat -- but the richness of the elk seems to go well with the smoky spiciness of the seasonings. Elk is very lean, full of protein, and organic...it's also yummy. :-) The sauce is a tangy, verde (green) style sauce, but feel free to use bottled or canned sauce, either green or red, if you want to cut down on the prep time.
