Smoky Bison Burger image

Bison (aka buffalo) meat is one of the healthiest proteins around. It has more Omega-3 fatty acids than even salmon and it's lower in fat and cholesterol than boneless, skinless chicken breast. The best part? It's absolutely delicious. Topped with a smoky sauce and dill pickles, this burger is a taste of the American West. Serve pinto beans, cheesy corn casserole or steak-cut fries alongside.

  • Whisk well and set aside.
  • To prepare burgers, mix the ground bison with seasonings in a large bowl.
  • Shape 8 patties of equal size and brush each with half of the olive oil.
  • In a large skillet, add reserved olive oil and heat until smoking over medium-high heat.
  • Cook 4 patties, covered, for 5 minutes. Turn and cook another 5 minutes, covered. (Add cheese, if desired, for the last 1 minute of cooking.)
  • Remove to a warm platter and cover while you cook the remaining patties.
  • Keeping the skillet warm, brush the buns with olive oil and toast on either side for about 10 to 15 seconds.
  • Assemble burgers by placing cooked patties on bun bottoms, topping with smoky sauce and pickles, along with desired burger toppings.
