Barbecue And Blue Cheese Bison Burger Food

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.

STUBB'S BARBECUED BLUE CHEESE BURGERS

Steps:

• Step 1: Line a rimmed baking sheet with plastic wrap. Divide the ground beef into 8 equal balls. Run your hands under cold running, then form the balls into flat patties slightly larger than the diameter of the buns, placing them on the prepared baking sheet. (Use a light touch and avoid over-handling the meat.) ShareTweetPin37 Shares Step 2: Divide the blue cheese equally between 4 patties, leaving a margin on each patty of 1/2 inch. Top with the remaining patties, and using your fingertips, seal the edges so the cheese doesn't leak out during grilling.

Grill the bacon, onion, and burgers until browned on both sides and cooked through (the internal temperature of the burgers should be 160 degrees), 3 to 6 minutes per side. (Move the bacon as needed to dodge flare-ups.) Transfer these ingredients to a platter.

Spoon Stubb's Original Bar-B-Q Sauce on top. Replace the top halves of the buns. You'll need both hands to eat this one! ShareTweetPin37 Shares

BARBECUE AND BLUE CHEESE BISON BURGER

Steps:

• Sauté the onions in the olive oil over medium-high heat until translucent. Turn off the heat and let it cool.
• 2 When the onions are cool enough to touch, use your (clean) hands to gently mix them in with the bison burger meat, and add everything else. Do not overwork the meat, it will result in a tough burger. Just gently fold it until the onions, sage, salt and pepper are well mixed inches.
• 3 Form patties with the meat, using about 1/4 to 1/3 of a pound of meat per patty. Here's a tip on making the patty: if you press a slight indentation in the center of each patty it will help keep the burgers in a nice disk shape when cooking. Otherwise the burger will start to get a little egg-shaped as the edges contract from cooking.
• 4 Grill or fry the burgers on medium heat, about 6-7 minutes per side, less or more depending on the thickness of the burger and the heat of the pan/grill, or until the internal temperature is 140°F for medium rare, or 160°F for well done. A note on internal temperature. If you are getting the ground meat from a source you trust (we got ours from Whole Foods) that does their own grinding on site, or you grind your own meat, you can safely cook the burgers rare or medium rare. Otherwise you'll want to cook the burgers until well done. Don't press on your burgers while cooking, and keep the flipping to a minimum. Let the burgers rest about 5 minutes before serving.
• Spread butter on each bun and place in in a hot skillet butter side down for a couple seconds until toasted.
• Mix bleu cheese in mayo and spread on bun.
• add barbecue sauce, lettuce and tomato.
