Desperado Bison Burger Recipe

Prepare the Bison Patties

In a mixing bowl, combine ground bison, salt, and black pepper. Form into two equal-sized patties.

Cook the Bacon

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

Grill the Patties

In the same skillet or on a grill, cook the bison patties for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium rare, or until desired doneness is reached.

Add Cheese

During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of smoked gouda on each patty to melt.

Toast the Buns

Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in the skillet until golden brown.

Assemble the Burger

Spread jalapeno honey mustard on the bottom bun. Top with the bison patty with melted gouda, crispy bacon, sliced avocado, and red onion. Drizzle BBQ sauce over the top and place the top bun on.

Serve

Serve the Desperado Bison Burger with your favorite sides.
