Method
Preparing the Burger Patty
- 1
Mix the Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the ground bison, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Use your hands to mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

Form the Patties
Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.

Cook the Patties
Once the grill is hot, place the bison patties on it. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer them more done. If adding cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking.

Prepare the Buns
While the patties are cooking, slice the brioche buns in half and toast them lightly on the grill or in a toaster if desired.
