Best 4 Smoky Bison Burger Recipes

GRILLED BISON BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Mix bison, Panko crumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, garlic, and pepper together by hand in a bowl; form into 4 patties. Place patties on baking sheet, cover with aluminum foil, and refrigerate until chilled, about 15 minutes.
• Spray the patties with cooking spray and grill until hot and slightly pink in the center, about 5 minutes per side. Top each burger with a slice of cheese; continue cooking until the cheese melts, about 2 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
• Sandwich burgers between bun halves.

SMOKY BEER BURGERS WITH CREAMY MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat grill over medium-high heat.
• Place the meat in a bowl and add the cheese. Peel the onion and halve it, if using the medium onion. Grate about 3 to 4 tablespoons of onion directly over the meat into the bowl. Finely chop the remaining onion and reserve for topping. Add spices to meat: paprika, cumin and about 1 tablespoon of grill seasoning and/or some salt and pepper. Add garlic, parsley and Worcestershire and beer then form 4 large patties making them a little thinner at the center than at edges. Burgers plump when you cook them so this will prevent burger bulge. Drizzle a little olive oil over the burgers then grill about 4 minutes on each side for medium rare, 5 minutes on each side for medium and 6 to 7 minutes on each side for well done.
• Mix mustard and sour cream with dill.
• Serve patties on bun bottoms and top with lettuce, pickles, chopped raw onion. Slather bun tops with sauce and serve.

SMOKY BBQ BLACK BEAN BURGER RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Arrange the sweet potato in a single layer on one third of the baking sheet. Drizzle with ½ tablespoon of olive oil and toss to coat. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove the baking sheet from the oven and spread the walnuts next to the sweet potatoes, taking up another third of the baking sheet. Return to the oven for 5 minutes, then remove the baking sheet from the oven. Flip the sweet potatoes and stir the walnuts, then spread the black beans in a single layer on the remaining third of the baking sheet. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes, until the black beans are dry and cracked open, the walnuts are golden brown, and the sweet potatoes are cooked through and browning around the edges. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly. Leave the oven on.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large cast iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and ¼ teaspoon salt and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and have shrunk to half of their original size. Transfer the mushrooms to a bowl. Set aside the pan for cooking the burgers (no need to wipe it out).
• Add the roasted black beans and walnuts to a food processor and pulse 3-4 times, until the mixture is just crumbly (do not overprocess). Add the mushrooms, sweet potatoes, ½ cup quinoa, McCormick® Chili Powder, McCormick® Smoked Paprika, McCormick® Ground Cumin, remaining teaspoon of salt, and ¼ cup Stubb's® Original BBQ Sauce and pulse until the sweet potatoes and mushrooms are broken down into smaller pieces and the mixture is well combined but still has some texture; do not overprocess into a paste.
• Transfer the black bean mixture to a large bowl and stir in the remaining ½ cup quinoa. Season with more salt, chili powder, paprika, and/or cumin to taste.
• Line the baking sheet with a clean sheet of parchment paper.
• Using a ½-cup measuring cup and wet hands, pack the black bean mixture into the measuring cup, then tap out onto the palm of one hand. Use the other hand to gently press into a ½-inch-thick patty. Carefully place on the prepared baking sheet, then repeat to make 3 more patties. Chill the patties in the refrigerator, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
• In the same pan used for the mushrooms, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Carefully add the burgers to the pan and cook for 8-10 minutes, carefully flipping halfway, until browned on both sides. Brush the top of each patty with 1 tablespoon of Stubb's® Original BBQ Sauce, then transfer the pan to the oven for 10 minutes, or until the sauce starts to brown.
• To assemble, place a leaf of butter lettuce on the bottom half of a toasted bun, then top with a black bean patty, ¼ of the avocado, and ¼ cup red cabbage and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of Stubb's® Original BBQ Sauce. Finish with the top bun. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• Enjoy!
