Buffalo Burger

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 lb ground bison
• 2 tbsp BBQ sauce
• 1 lb ground pork

  (optional)
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp paprika

  smoked
• 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
• 2 tsp Salt
• 2 tsp Pepper
• 1 tbsp Dill

  fresh or dried
• 2 tbsp Worcester
• 1/4 cup diced onion or a hand full of chives
• 2 tbsp flour – Cocoanut flour will work as a gluten-free option
• Vegetable Oil for brushing on burgers before grilling.
• Cheese

  optional – for melting on burgers

Instructions

• 1 Mix together ground buffalo meat, spices, BBQ sauce, Worcester, herbs, and diced
  onion or chives. Add flour to help bind the meat together.
• 2 Grab approx. 1/3 cup bison burger mixture and roll-together between hands. Roll
  for a few minutes so that the meat forms a nice ball. Flatten between hands to
  form a pattie. 
• 3 If time allows cover buffalo burgers and place them in the refrigerator for a
  few hours. This allows the meat to marinade and take in the flavors of the
  spices.
• 4 Preheat your BBQ or smoker. Pull burgers from the fridge and brush on vegetable
  oil like you would BBQ sauce. 
• 5 Grill buffalo burgers on each side. Cook for approx. 4-5 minutes per side or
  until desired. To determine the correct doneness, use an instant-read
  thermometer and aim for an internal temperature of 140-145°F (60-63°C) for
  medium-rare. When the patties reach their desired temperature, immediately
  remove them from heat to prevent overcooking.
• 6 In the last two minutes of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of
  each patty and let it melt.
• 7 Toast hamburger buns on the BBQ (spread butter on buns before toasting).
• 8 Add toppings of your choice to the bun – ex … lettuce, pickles, avocado, onions,
  and chips (BBQ or dill pickles or plain ruffle chips are a great option that
  adds some crunch).
