Ingredients
- 1 pound ground bison meat
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 burger buns
- Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, pickles, mayonnaise, ketchup
Directions
- In a large bowl, combine the ground bison, crumbled bacon, cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, diced onion, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 1/2-inch thick.
- Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, lightly grease it with cooking spray or oil.
- Grill the burgers for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Bison meat is lean, so be careful not to overcook it to prevent it from drying out.
- While the burgers are cooking, toast the burger buns on the grill for a few seconds, if desired.
- Once the burgers are cooked, remove them from the grill or grill pan and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on a bun. Add your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, pickles, mayonnaise, or ketchup.
- Serve the Bacon Cheddar Bison Burgers hot and enjoy!
