A tasty alternative to beef! Fresh bison, mixed with a one-step Italian seasoning and a few other ingredients grilled up to perfection and topped with thick-cut bacon and Cheddar cheese! Add purple onion slices. A hearty burger that will likely please any hungry appetite! This recipe is great with fries or any kind of salad.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

Burger Mix:

  • 1 pound ground bison

  • 1 egg

  • ¼ cup crushed crackers, or more as needed

  • 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning (such as Club House® Italiano)

  • 1 ½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 pinch garlic salt

  • 1 pinch ground black pepper

  • 1 pinch coarse salt

Condiments and Toppings:

  • 1 teaspoon barbeque sauce

  • 8 slices cooked thick bacon

  • 4 slices Cheddar cheese

  • 4 burger buns

  • 4 leaves green leaf lettuce

Directions

  1. Combine ground bison, egg, crushed crackers, Italian seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, garlic salt, black pepper, and coarse salt in a large bowl. Use your hands to form mixture into 4 large burger patties. Place on a plate lined with waxed paper and refrigerate until ready to cook.

  2. Preheat grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

  3. Grill burgers for 2 minutes. Flip and brush with barbeque sauce. Flip again and cook until burgers are no longer pink in the center, about 8 minutes total. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

  4. Turn off the grill. Add 2 slices cooked bacon and 1 slice Cheddar cheese to each burger; close lid and let cheese melt, about 1 minute. Transfer burgers to buns and top each with 1 lettuce leaf.
