Instructions
- Sprinkle salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder over ground bison in a large bowl. Gently mix together.
- Shape into patties about 4" around and 3/4" thick or slightly larger than the buns you plan to use.
- Get the charcoal briquets going for a charcoal grill or preheat your gas grill to high heat. Place bison patties onto clean, hot grates directly over the heat and grill for 2-3 minutes before flipping and grilling another 2 minutes on the other side. Top with cheese as soon as you flip the burgers so it has time to melt.
- Remove bison burgers from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Add your favorite toppings and enjoy!
Notes
- Skillet Version: Heat 1-2 Tablespoons oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Place bison patties in the skillet and cook for 2 minutes without moving the patties. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes until medium-rare to medium.
- Air Fryer: Preheat air fryer to 370°F. Arrange the patties in a single layer and cook for 5 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until done.
- Additional Mix-Ins: Some people like to add even more to their bison patties like 1-2 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce and two tablespoons of olive oil, heavy cream, mayonnaise, or stoneground or dijon mustard as a way of adding some fat into an otherwise lean patty. Personally I have found this to be unnecessary as long as you are careful not to overcook your burgers.
- Freezing: If you have any uncooked patties, they can be wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and frozen for up to 2 months. You can even grill them direct from their frozen state - it will just take an extra minute or two on the grill.
