Mozza and Bacon Moose Burger

This great tasting burger is always a hit. I actually used a gluten free english muffin for this photo but you can use your favourite  buns for this burger.

INGREDIENTS

1 pound lean ground moose (any extra lean ground red meat works for this)

1/2 pound bacon, diced small

1 clove garlic, pressed

1 teaspoon hot pepper flakes (more or less to taste)

1 1/2 ounces mozzarella cheese cut into 4 pieces

4 GF buns

DIRECTIONS

In a large bowl, mix together the ground meat, diced bacon, pressed garlic and hot pepper flakes with your bare hands making sure everything is well blended.

Divide this mixture into 4 equal portions (These are hefty burgers).

Place the piece of cheese in the middle of each meat portion and shape into a patty, making sure the cheese is not exposed.

Refrigerate for 1 hour to allow the garlic to permeate into the meat.

Remove from refrigerator and allow resting for 20 minutes.

Cook the burgers on a well oiled, pre-heated grill or skillet until cooked to desired doneness.

Place on the buns and top with your favourite fixings.
