Cheese and Meat Selection

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef and ground bison. Mix well using your hands or a spatula until the meats are evenly combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the meat mixture into equal portions and shape them into burger patties, about 1/2 inch thick. You should be able to make approximately 4 patties from the total mixture.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

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

  4. 4

    Add Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of your chosen cheese (American, cheddar, pepper jack, or Swiss) on top of each patty. Cover the grill or skillet to help the cheese melt.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once the cheese has melted, remove the patties from the grill or skillet and serve them on buns with your favorite toppings.
