Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground buffalo meat
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 4 buns Brioche burger buns
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
- 2 sliced Beefsteak tomatoes
- 8 slices Pickles
- 1 small, thinly sliced Red onion
- 0.25 cup Hot buffalo sauce
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground buffalo meat, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Do not overwork the meat.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties about 1-inch thick.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add olive oil to the pan.
Cook the buffalo patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until their internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.
While the patties cook, butter the insides of each brioche bun and toast them on a separate skillet or grill until golden brown.
In a small bowl, whisk together the buffalo sauce and mayonnaise to create a spicy buffalo mayo.
Assemble the burgers: Spread a generous layer of buffalo mayo on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Layer on a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, a buffalo patty with melted cheese, pickle slices, and red onion. Top with the remaining bun halves.
Serve immediately, optionally securing each burger with a skewer to maintain its towering structure.
