Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds ground bison
• 4 ounces blue cheese crumbles
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 pieces brioche burger buns
• 4 pieces lettuce leaves
• 4 pieces tomato slices
• 4 pieces red onion slices

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, combine the blue cheese crumbles and softened unsalted butter. Use a fork to mash and mix them together until fully incorporated. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground bison, garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

Step 4

Divide the bison mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties about 3/4-inch thick, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to ensure even cooking.

Step 5

Lightly brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking. Place the bison patties on the hot grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare to medium doneness, or adjust cook time to your desired preference.

Step 6

During the last minute of cooking, spoon a dollop of the blue cheese butter on top of each patty to allow it to melt slightly.

Step 7

Remove the patties from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes to retain their juices.

Step 8

Toast the brioche buns on the grill for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until golden and warmed through.

Step 9

Assemble the burgers: place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a bison patty, a slice of tomato, and a slice of red onion. Top with the other half of the bun.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Blue Cheese Butter Bison Burgers!
