Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground bison (buffalo meat)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
- 0.25 cup blue cheese crumbles
- 4 piece brioche buns
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.25 cup ranch dressing
- 4 piece lettuce leaves
- 1 piece tomato, sliced
- 0.25 cup red onion, thinly sliced
Instructions
Preheat a grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground bison, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and hot sauce. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Avoid over-mixing, as this could make the burgers tough.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and form each into a burger patty about 3/4-inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.
Place the patties on the preheated grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on the first side, until nicely charred. Flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes on the second side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F for medium.
During the last minute of cooking, sprinkle blue cheese crumbles over each patty and cover with a lid or foil to allow the cheese to melt.
Meanwhile, lightly butter the cut sides of the brioche buns and toast them on the grill or in a skillet until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
To assemble, spread a spoonful of ranch dressing on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Layer with lettuce, a cooked buffalo burger patty, a slice of tomato, and a few red onion slices.
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
