Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground bison
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 4 pieces Hamburger buns
• 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 1 piece Tomato, sliced
• 8 slices Pickle slices
• 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices

Directions

Step 1

1. In a large bowl, gently mix the ground bison with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce using your hands. Be careful not to overwork the mixture to maintain tenderness.

Step 2

2. Divide the mixture into four equal parts and shape each into a patty about 1/2 inch thick, ensuring the sides are smooth and even.

Step 3

3. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Alternatively, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 4

4. Add the bison patties to the skillet or grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.

Step 5

5. If using cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking. Cover and let it melt.

Step 6

6. Lightly toast the hamburger buns either in a toaster or in a separate pan for about 1 minute.

Step 7

7. Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each toasted bun, followed by a bison patty, a slice of tomato, and pickles.

Step 8

8. Cover with the top bun and serve immediately with your choice of sides such as fries or a fresh salad.
