Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground bison
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 large leaves Lettuce leaves
- 1 sliced Tomato
- 0.5 thinly sliced Red onion
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 1 sliced Pickles
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine ground bison, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Gently mix the meat without overworking it to maintain tenderness.
Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty slightly larger than a slice of cheddar cheese.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Once hot, add the bison patties to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for medium doneness.
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.
Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for a minute.
Assemble the burgers by placing each bison patty on a large lettuce leaf. Top with tomato slice, red onion slices, and pickle slices.
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and Dijon mustard together. Spread this mixture on the top side of another lettuce leaf and use it to complete the burger wrap.
Secure each burger with a toothpick if needed and serve immediately.
