Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 12 slices bacon, cut in half

  • 1 pound ground bison

  • ½ cup dry bread crumbs

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 ½ tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt

  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 4 slices sharp Cheddar cheese

  • 4 Hawaiian-style hamburger buns

  • 4 teaspoons mayonnaise, or to taste (Optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

  2. Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels; reserve bacon grease.

  3. Mix bison, bread crumbs, egg, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper in a bowl until evenly combined. The mixture should be slightly sticky and easy to form. Split into 4 equal patties. Use some leftover bacon grease to moisten each side of the patties; this will inhibit them from sticking on the grill and adds a little flavor.

  4. Cook patties on the preheated grill until browned, about 5 minutes on each side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of each patty should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Place Cheddar slices on each patty and continue to grill until melted, about 1 minute more. Remove to a plate.

  5. Place buns on the grill, sliced sides down, to toast, about 1 minute. Spread mayonnaise over the toasted buns. Add burgers and bacon.

Cook's Note:

You can use panko or regular bread crumbs.
