Equipment
- Grill or stovetop griddle
- Mixing bowl
- Spatula
- Meat thermometer
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground bison meat
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup finely chopped red onion
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 4 whole wheat burger buns
- Lettuce, tomato slices, red onion rings, cheese Toppings (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine ground bison, breadcrumbs, red onion, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix the ingredients until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the burgers tender.
- Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into burger patties.
- Preheat your grill or stovetop griddle over medium-high heat. If using a grill, oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- Place the bison burgers on the preheated grill or griddle and cook for approximately 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
- During the last minute of cooking, add optional cheese slices to the burgers and let them melt.
- While the burgers are cooking, toast the whole wheat burger buns on the grill for about 1-2 minutes, until they are golden brown.
- Remove the bison burgers from the heat and let them rest for 5 minutes.
- Assemble your burgers by placing the patties on the toasted buns and adding your preferred toppings such as lettuce, tomato slices, and red onion rings.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your bold and flavorful bison burgers!
