Bison Burgers

Let me preface this with “Yes, I did eat it” as I am not one for the unusual. For me, anyway.

  • 1 lb. ground bison
  • 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 dashes of Tabasco sauce
  • 1 pinch granulated garlic
  • pinch of black pepper
  • olive oil cooking spray
  • 4 slices of cheese (American or Monteray Jack)
  • 4 Brioche hamburger buns, split and toasted

Preheat barbecue grill and lightly oil the grate.

Mix the bison, panko crumbs, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco, garlic and pepper mixing well together by hand and then form 4 patties.

Spray the patties with the Olive oil spray and grill until hot and barely pink in the center (about 5 minutes each side). Top each burger with a slice of cheese and cook until it has melted (about 1 1/2 minutes) An instant read thermometer placed in the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).

Place each burger on a bun half and serve with grilled caramelized onions, mustard, mayo, pickle, lettuce and tomato. Serve with french fries and you have a great dinner.

These really are very tasty. Give it a try. By the way, the picture shows a single patty only. That is not two. Honest!
