Burger Patty

Seasoned Fries

Method

Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bison Patty

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground bison meat with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.

  2. 2

    Form the Patty

    Shape the mixture into a round patty, approximately ¾ inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of the patty to prevent it from puffing up while cooking.

Cooking the Patty

  1. 3

    Cook the Patty

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the bison patty. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side.

  2. 4

    Add Cheese

    Flip the patty, then place a slice of cheese on top. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for medium.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 5

    Prepare the Bun

    Toast the brioche bun lightly on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of the toasted bun, place the lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked bison patty with cheese, and top it with a slice of tomato. Cover with the top half of the bun.

Cooking the Fries

  1. 7

    Prepare the Fries

    Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the frozen fries package. In a bowl, toss the frozen fries with olive oil, salt, paprika, and garlic powder until evenly coated.

  2. 8

    Bake the Fries

    Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on a baking sheet. Cook according to package instructions, usually around 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crispiness.
