Elk BBQ Brisket Sliders

Elk BBQ Brisket Sliders

Well, it’s safe to say this year isn’t turning out quite like any of us had imagined. And with everything that’s going on with the current COVID-19 health crisis, well, we decided it was time for some serious comfort food. Really good comfort food. The kind that brings joy but is also made with quality ingredients and – this might be the most important part – is easy to make. Because let’s face it, with all the zooming, homeschooling, aimless walking, and Tiger King binging, there just isn’t a whole lot of energy left for whipping up elaborate meals. (Although Instagram would have you think otherwise.)

We gotcha. Check out this incredible set-it-and-forget-it recipe for Elk BBQ Brisket Sliders with a tangy BBQ sauce and a spicy slaw from our friends, Primal Pioneer. This is just one in a delicious series of recipes they’re creating with us and frankly, they couldn’t come at a better time. (We’ve already cooked all our favorites at least 7 times too many.) Like us, they believe in respecting our land, natural resources, and animals and are doing their best to both educate people on public land hunts and elevate game meat with fresh, exciting recipes. So let’s get to it!
