Bison Burgers
Consider these tasty Bison Burgers in lieu of your classic beef hamburger to cut down on calories and fat.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. ground bison
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 onion, grated or finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, grated or minced
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
- 1 tsp ground mustard
- 2 tsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp chives, chopped
- 1/4 cup Italian parsley, chopped
Toppers
- 6 slices of Jack cheese
- butter lettuce leaves
- sliced red onion
- sliced tomatoes
- 6 hamburger buns
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine bison, Worcestershire sauce, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, ground mustard, ketchup, chives and Italian parsley. Form into 6 patties that are slightly larger than your hamburger buns. Let sit at room temp for 30 minutes.
- Grill, uncovered, over medium heat for 5-6 minutes on each side. NOTE: because of the low fat content of bison, these burgers will cook faster than beef patties. Remove from heat. Add cheese slices (optional). Place in a 250 degree F oven to melt cheese for 5 minutes.
- Serve on buns or on lettuce cups for a gluten free option. Accompany burgers with lettuce, tomatoes and onion.
