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

  1. 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.
  2. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 1/2-inch thick.
  3. Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, lightly grease it with cooking spray or oil.
  4. 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.
  5. While the burgers are cooking, toast the burger buns on the grill for a few seconds, if desired.
  6. Once the burgers are cooked, remove them from the grill or grill pan and let them rest for a few minutes.
  7. Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on a bun. Add your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, pickles, mayonnaise, or ketchup.
  8. Serve the Bacon Cheddar Bison Burgers hot and enjoy!
