Method

Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bison Patty

    In a mixing bowl, combine ground bison, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until well combined. Form into 4 equal patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the bison patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness.

Caramelized Onions

  1. 3

    Slice the Onions

    Thinly slice the yellow onions.

  2. 4

    Caramelize the Onions

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions and salt, cooking for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are golden brown and caramelized.

Bacon and Aioli

  1. 5

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet, cook the applewood smoked bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain.

  2. 6

    Make the Garlic Aioli

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Mix well and set aside.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Assemble the Burgers

    Toast the brioche buns lightly. Spread a layer of garlic aioli on the bottom half of each bun. Place a bison patty on top, followed by caramelized onions, a slice of bacon, and crumbled gorgonzola cheese. Top with the other half of the bun.
