- For the Burgers
- 2 pounds ground bison
- 2 tablespoons FlavorBlvd Ultimate Burger Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil optional, helps add moisture
- 4 slices sharp cheddar pepper jack, or smoked gouda
- 4 brioche or potato burger buns
- Burger Toppings
- Leaf lettuce
- Sliced tomato
- Red onion
- Dill pickles
- Crispy bacon optional
- Your favorite burger sauce or garlic aioli
Instructions
- Step 1: Season the Meat
- Place the ground bison into a large mixing bowl.
- Add:
- FlavorBlvd Ultimate Burger Seasoning
- Worcestershire sauce
- Olive oil
- Mix gently until just combined. Avoid overworking the meat to keep the burgers tender.
- Step 2: Form the Patties
- Divide into four equal portions.
- Shape into ¾-inch thick patties and press a small thumbprint into the center of each burger to help them cook evenly.
- Step 3: Grill
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Cook burgers about 4–5 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until they reach your preferred doneness. Because bison is naturally lean, avoid overcooking to keep it juicy. Add cheese during the last minute of cooking so it melts perfectly.
- Step 4: Toast the Buns
- While the burgers rest for 5 minutes, lightly toast the buns on the grill.
- Step 5: Build Your Burger
- Layer the bun with:
- Lettuce
- Juicy bison burger
