Red Wine Elk Sliders

A savory meal for an intense game

A playoff game between the Steelers and the Ravens deserves more than just finger food.  Much more. 

I was first introduced to wine burgers while living in Brooklyn last summer.  I'm usually not a burger girl, but a diner a couple blocks away from my apartment hooked me. 

For this recipe, you can use beef, turkey, or any other kind of burger meat.  I just happened to have elk in my freezer and wanted to use it.  I'm using a skillet to cook the burgers, but you can use a grill if you'd like.  I'm also serving the sliders Pittsburgh-style with fries on top.  This is also optional, but I like Alexia Yukon Gold from the freezer section.
