1
Prepare the Meats
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and ground bison. Mix well until evenly combined.
2
Form the Patties
Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about ¾ inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.

3
Cook the Patties
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
4
Add BBQ Sauce
During the last minute of cooking, brush each patty generously with Cadillac BBQ sauce and allow it to caramelize slightly.
5
Add Cheese and Bacon
Top each patty with shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon. Cover the grill or skillet for about 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese.

6
Plate and Serve
Remove the patties from the grill or skillet and serve them on toasted buns. Offer mustard on the side for added flavor.
