Bison Burgers


YIELD: 4 patties
PREPARATION TIME: 20 minutes
COOKING TIME: 14-20 minutes


Details

What man doesn't love to fire up the barbecue? There is something primitive and tough about hot coals, fire and cooking outdoors. Trade greasy, heart-attack-on-a-plate burgers for these juicy, delicious and Clean bison burgers. Visit your local butcher to select the best ground bison.

Ingredients

• 1 Tbsp / 15 ml olive or safflower oil
• ¾ cup / 180 ml finely chopped onion
• 2 egg whites
• ¼ cup / 60 ml oat bran or oatmeal ground in a coffee grinder
• ¼ cup / 60 ml cooked, mashed sweet potato
• 1 Tbsp / 15 ml molasses
• 1 tsp / 5 ml crumbled, dried oregano
• ½ tsp / 2.5 ml sea salt
• ½ tsp / 2.5 ml freshly ground black pepper
• 1 lb / 454 g ground bison

Preparation

  1. Heat oil over medium heat in a skillet. Cook the onion until soft and golden. Set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix together egg whites, oat bran or oatmeal, sweet potato, molasses, oregano, sea salt and pepper.
  3. Stir in onions and bison. Mix the ingredients together with clean hands until just combined. Take a handful of the meat and create a flat patty. You can get your family involved here too, so they can make patties that fit them. Just make sure they use clean hands.
  4. Grill the patties for 7-10 minutes on each side or until the burgers reach desired doneness.
  5. If you would like to store the patties in the freezer to use later, wrap the patties individually in parchment paper. They can be stored for up to one month in the freezer.

Tosca's Tip

Pair these burgers with whole wheat or Ezekiel buns. Top the burgers with cut-up tomatoes, leafy greens and hummus.

    This was so good my husband didn't even add ketchup or mustard, even though he had them sitting next to his plate.

    The ingredient list and prep was long for just making burgers, but this was well worth it! Very delish. I had to micro a sweet potato while browning the onions, and ended up eating the rest of it instead of using a bun.

    I made these the other night. I didn't announce it was bison, just said we were having hamburgers. My family gobbled them down! I ate it as suggested, with hummus, and I will probably never use ketchup and mustard on a burger again! My 11-year-old daughter caught on--she had seen the bison in the fridge--but she still said they were the best burgers I've ever made.

    I wish I woulda read this receipt before i tried my hand at bison burgers the other day. Without these other ingrdeients, I can tell you all, the patties easily crumble whil cooking. I did get lucky and had two that didn't destroy themselves. I will try this recipe next time for sure.
  • From: dkbrace about 3 years ago

    Bison is a really lean meat, like venison so you have to add "binding" ingredients to help it stick together in a burger. I have ground venison in my freezer and will try it with this recipe.

    I tried this and the molasses was just too much. Anyone try it with honey or maple syrup?
  • From: eirwin about 3 years ago

    I made this recipe today and found it very tasty. As others have said it is very moist. Perhap I need to adjust my amounts but it was closer to meatloaf than a hamburger. I broiled it indoors so next time I will try outside. I have purchased Tony Little's bison burgers and do not find that they fall apart, but then they don't have all the other ingredients. I would like a firmer burger than this recipe. Any ideas on what to adapt?

    Did you all know that there is beef out there that is tastier, juicier, and even lower in fat and cholesterol than bison? I didn't, until I was infroduced to grass fed grass finished Longhorn beef. We love it so much, that we have begun distributing it here in Oklahoma! Check us out at www.plumrichbeef.com

    Husband just brought some Bison home...Can't wait to try this!
  • From: [email protected] about 3 years ago

    I would love to try this! Where is bison sold?
  • From: amymay7 about 3 years ago

    I've bought ground bison at BJ's wholesale and Stop and Shop.

    Yum! I love Bison Burgers. Will try this>
  • From: jennifer.chorazy about 2 years ago

    My new favorite burger! These were a huge hit in my house! The sweet potato adds such a wonderful flavor. I also tried this same method with ground chicken as well. It doesn't hold up as well as the bison on the grill. I had to add an extra 1/4 c of oat bran just to get it to form a patty.

    The only thing I failed to mention to my family was the pleasant orange surprise in these Bison Burgers! They never knew I had slipped them a little sweet potato! They did resemble a meatloaf but they were scrumptious! I have made them twice since and they've been a real hit. Add some butter squash fries and you have a great meal!
  • From: kas218 about 1 year ago

    I followed the recipe exactly and they were fabulous! My four year old ate the burger without a bun while dipping it in hummus.
  • From: Mon164 about 1 year ago

    Im going to try this tonight
  • From: Bollydolly about 11 months ago
