Buffalo Burgers image

I just recently discovered ground buffalo and it makes delicious hamburgers! It's a leaner meat and has a unique & tasty flavor. These are a joint effort by my husband and I - I prepare the patties, he grills them to perfection.

Time 31m

Yield 2 1/4 pound burgers, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 lb ground buffalo meat (any ground meat will do, we prefer the flavor of buffalo)
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup breadcrumbs (I prefer garlic & herb breadcrumbs)
1/4 onion, chopped
2 mushrooms, chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
salt
pepper
lemon pepper seasoning
2 hamburger buns
2 slices cheddar cheese
pickle
tomatoes, sliced
lettuce
mustard
ketchup

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl mix the buffalo, egg, breadcrumbs, onions, mushrooms and garlic. Mix until well blended ( I have found the easiest way to mix is with my hands - it pays to get a little messy!).
  • Season to taste with salt, pepper and lemon pepper.
  • Form into hamburger patties. Make the patties thick - almost in the shape of a meatball. The thicker they are the juicier the burger will be.
  • Cook on the grill for 8 minutes on each side. We usually soak hickory/mesquite chips and put those on the grill before the burgers for a nice smoked flavor (we use a charcoal grill). You want to be careful to not overcook these as the buffalo can dry out quickly.
  • Place cheddar cheese on burgers when there is 1 minute left.
  • Put on buns and top with your favorite toppings - tomato, pickles, lettuce, mustard, ketchup.
  • Enjoy the unique flavor of buffalo.
