The Bison Cheese Burger

Bison tastes like ground rib eye beef steak, so good and has very little fat making this the most awesome healthy burger choice going.

When it comes to burgers, I'm pretty simple and straight forward. People just try to make to much out of a burger by adding too many ingredients and making the patty too thick.

Here's the way I build a bison burger. I like a soft potato bun, thousand island dressing on the bottom, lettuce, medium rare patty with cheese, couple thin tomato slices and the top bun with a little more thousand island dressing.
 

Ingredients:
1/3 pound ground bison
Sliced American cheese
Iceberg lettuce
Slice beef steak tomato
Potato bun
Thousand island dressing

Preparation:

Prepare your bison burger by making the patty about 6" round and 1/2" think. By doing this you end up with a patty that is the same size as the bun and not so thick that it becomes difficult to eat. Cook the patty on medium high for about 5 minute per side adding the cheese when almost done.

 

Take the potato bun and add thousand island dressing to the top and bottom bun. Place two pieces of iceberg lettuce on the bottom bun, then the bison patty, the sliced tomato and finally the top half of the bun. Serve with a simple salad of mixed greens, raspberry vinaigrette and blue cheese.
