View Full Version : Canned Elk Chimichangas

I ran out of chimis awhile back and didn't have any pulled pork in the freezer. The next option was to open a couple of quarts of canned elk to make my chimichangas. I make these by the dozen and store in zip lock bags in the freezer. Just take out what we want, heat up some Stokes Green Chile Sauce w/pork and smother the chimi adding a few drops of Tabasco green sauce.

Piled on the elk meat, one of Tracey's poblano peppers and a handful of grated cheddar.

Letting them cool off so I can freeze them.

Now that has got to be a hit around the house. You knocked that one out of the park there bud. Could one trouble you for your recipe or method for canning elk. That might come in right handy this year.:whistle:

Jerod, I just cube up the elk in about 2"X2" chunks and pack in quart jars. Add 2 cloves of garlic, one teaspoon of salt and pressure at 15# for 1 hour.

Nice chimis, Keith! I've never had elk and never thought I'd want to try it, but after seeing how some of you guys prepare it, I say pass me a plate! :lol: :thumb:
