The first thing I did to make these Moose Burgers, was dice enough yellow onion to make 1/2 cup.

Then I cooked 5 slices of bacon in a frying pan. 

 Do not over cook.  You do not need the bacon crispy.

While the bacon cooked I dumped the ground moose into a large mixing bowl.

Now I added a large egg, salt, pepper, mustard powder and paprika to the meat in the bowl.

I mixed these ingredients well.  

Then I dumped in the diced onion, some bacon grease and cut up the bacon and added it as well.

Once the bacon and onion were mixed into the meat I formed the meat into patties.  I made 6 patties that were just over 6oz each.

Then placed the patties on a preheated BBQ.

I grilled the patties for 7 – 8 minutes on one side.

Then I flipped the patties and continuted grilling for another 6 – 7 minutes.

Once the Moose Burgers were cooked I removed them from the grill.

I placed the patties on gluten free buns.

Let everyone add their favourite condiments.

Enjoy this thick and juicy burger any time of the year!

Another option is to serve it up like a salisbury steak and add your favourite side dishes.

No matter how you serve up these delicious Moose Burgers I am sure you will savour every bite!
