Servings: 4

Ingredients

Bison meat: 1 pound, ground
Garlic: 2 cloves, minced
Worcestershire sauce: 1 tablespoon
Salt: 1 teaspoon
Black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
Cheddar cheese: 4 slices
Hamburger buns: 4, toasted
Lettuce: 4 leaves, washed
Tomato: 1, sliced
Onion: 1, sliced (red or white)

Instructions

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
In a large bowl, combine the ground bison meat, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.
Place the patties on the preheated grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness (internal temperature of 160°F for medium).
During the last minute of cooking, add a slice of cheddar cheese to each patty and close the grill lid to melt the cheese.
While the burgers are grilling, place the hamburger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until lightly toasted.
To assemble the burgers, start with a toasted bottom bun. Add a lettuce leaf, followed by the bison patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, and onion. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as sweet potato fries or a fresh salad.
