Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 🍟 Base
  • 2 cups frozen French fries
  • 🥩 Elk
  • 1 cup cooked elk shredded or ground
  • 🧀 Toppings
  • 1 cup cheese curds
  • 🥣 Gravy
  • 1 cup prepared beef gravy

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Instructions
    Cook the Fries
    1. Prepare the French fries according to the package directions until golden brown and crispy.
    Warm the Elk
    1. While the fries are cooking, warm the cooked elk in a skillet over medium heat. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
    Heat the Gravy
    1. Warm the beef gravy in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until hot and smooth.
    Assemble
    1. Arrange the crispy fries on a serving platter. Top evenly with the warm elk and cheese curds.
    Finish
    1. Pour the hot gravy over the fries, elk, and cheese curds, allowing the cheese curds to soften. Serve immediately while hot.

    Notes

    This recipe works equally well with leftover slow-cooked elk roast or cooked ground elk. For the best texture, always use crispy fries and hot gravy so the cheese curds soften without completely melting.
