BISON BURGERS RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Cut the red onion into ½-inch thick round slices, keeping the circles of the onion intact. Set aside. Combine the bison, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper a large bowl. Mix gently but thoroughly to combine. Divide the mixture into four even portions, about 8 ounces each. Pat together into a ball (but not too tightly), then press into a patty, about 1-inch thick. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and swirl to coat the pan. Place the onion slices in the pan and cook for 3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Place the bison patties in the skillet and sear until golden, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until the internal temperature of the burger reaches 130 to 135° (for medium-rare), 3 to 4 minutes more. If you like cheese on your burgers, add it during the last minute of cooking, then cover to melt.  Serve the burgers immediately on toasted buns with seared red onion rings, pickles, and BBQ sauce.
  

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.
