BUFFALO BURGERS
Ground buffalo (bison) is a great choice for delicious burgers. The lean meat and rich flavors create burgers with some extra zip that helps them stand out from regular burgers. The secret to this burger recipe is using a little Worcestershire and BBQ sauce to add moisture that holds the ground meat together while deepening the burgers' flavor.

Steps:
- Finely mince the onion and garlic. Place the ground buffalo in a bowl with the onion, garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix in the Worcestershire and BBQ sauces.
- Use your hands to mix everything as if you're giving someone you like a good back rub, making sure the seasoning gets spread evenly through the ground bison.
- To form the burgers, split the mixture into equal parts and use your hands to form patties, working the meat until the patties hold together.
- Using your thumbs create a small depression in the top of the burgers; this will help them keep their shape on the grill.
- Grill the burgers on a medium to medium-high grill for 5 to 6 minutes, flip and cook for another five to six minutes or until the burgers have the desired level of doneness.

BUFFALO (OR BEEF) BURGER
Buffalo tastes rich but is very lean - adding medium ground beef to it keeps these burgers juicy. We're fortunate to live near a buffalo ranch but if you don't & can't find it at the supermarket, a butcher may be able to order it for you - or you can substitute with all beef. This recipe comes from the Rebel House restaurant in Toronto which is known around town for its excellent buffalo burger.
