• Preheat a grill, a grill pan or a George Foreman Grill over medium-high heat, about 5 minutes. Spray or brush the grill surfaces with oil.
• For medium doneness, grill the burgers for about 4 minutes on each side, or for a total of 4 minutes on a dual-contact grill. Serve immediately.

BLUE CHEESE & BUTTER BISON BURGERS

Steps:

• Mix together butter and blue cheese. Shape into a 2-inch diameter log and wrap in wax paper. I like to make this and keep one in the freezer packaged in a protective re-sealable bag.
• Mix bison with scallions, salt, pepper, and thyme in a large bowl. Divide into four even pieces and roll into balls.
• Slice a 4x1/2 inch discs of the blue cheese and butter mixture. Place 1 disc in the center of each bison ball, and shape into burgers.
• Season the outsides of each burger with additional black pepper if desired.
• Grill burgers to desired doneness, being careful not to flatten and cause the juices / flavor to ooze out.
• Serve with your favorite rolls, condiments, and the tomato, onion, and bacon.

ZUCCHINI BURGERS

Steps:
