Ingredients
  • 1 carrot
  • 1 celery stalk
  • ½ medium yellow onion
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 1 egg
  • 1 pound ground elk
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • your favorite spaghetti sauce or use this one
  • 1 pound dry pasta
Preparation Instructions
  1. Toss the carrot, celery, onion and thyme in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
  2. Add the egg, meat, salt and pepper and pulse until combined.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat with a little oil/grease of your choice (I used bacon grease) then using a scoop, scoop the meatballs out and place on a baking tray.
  4. Once they are all scooped and the skillet is nice and hot, add the meatballs to the skillet and cook until browned all over. You may need to do this in batches depending on how big the skillet is.
  5. Once they are all browned, add your sauce to the pan and reduce the heat to low, cover and allow to simmer.
  6. Meanwhile cook the pasta according to the package directions.
  7. Once the pasta is cooked, drain and top with sauce and meatballs.
