Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Bison
In a large bowl, combine the bison meat with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Mix well until the spices are evenly incorporated into the meat.
- 2
Shape the Patties
Form the seasoned bison mixture into 4 equal-sized patties, about 1/2 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.

Cook the Bacon
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the thick-cut bacon slices and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place on a paper towel to drain excess grease.

Cook the Bison Patties
In the same skillet with the bacon drippings, add the bison patties. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for medium.

Assemble the Dish
Once the bison patties are cooked, place the crispy bacon on top of each patty. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
