Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb. ground bison meat (you could also use lean ground beef 93/7)
- salt & pepper to season
- 4 slices of sharp or medium cheddar cheese (I used tillamook)
- 4 slices of bacon, cooked
- 1 head of iceberg lettuce, sliced into wedges
- 4 thick slices of vine ripe tomatoes
- 4 slices of red onion
- pickles
- condiments of your choosing: ketchup, mayo, mustard
Instructions
The Cheeseburgers (Bison Burger)
- Preheat grill to medium high heat, approximately 375-400 degrees F.
- Form ground bison meat into four 1/4 lb. patties.
- Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Clean grill grates and spray with cooking spray or rub with olive oil soaked rag.
- Place burgers on the grill. Grill the first side for 4 minutes, with closed grill. Flip burger and grill the other side for 3 minutes with closed grill.
- Then, place a slice of cheese on each burger and close the grill. Let the burgers cook and cheese melt for 1 minute and remove from grill.
Assemble Bacon Cheeseburgers:
- To a plate add a wedge of lettuce, then bison cheeseburger, top with cooked bacon (I slice mine in half and criss cross them), a slice of tomato, red onion, pickles and a condiment of your choosing.
- Serve!
