Perfect Bison Burgers Recipes

GRILLED BISON BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Mix bison, Panko crumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, garlic, and pepper together by hand in a bowl; form into 4 patties. Place patties on baking sheet, cover with aluminum foil, and refrigerate until chilled, about 15 minutes.
• Spray the patties with cooking spray and grill until hot and slightly pink in the center, about 5 minutes per side. Top each burger with a slice of cheese; continue cooking until the cheese melts, about 2 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
• Sandwich burgers between bun halves.

• Preheat a grill, a grill pan or a George Foreman Grill over medium-high heat, about 5 minutes. Spray or brush the grill surfaces with oil.
• For medium doneness, grill the burgers for about 4 minutes on each side, or for a total of 4 minutes on a dual-contact grill. Serve immediately.
