The Ultimate Bison Burgers with Bacon & Caramelized Onions
Juicy bison burgers topped with sweet caramelized onions, crispy bacon, melted Swiss cheese on buttery brioche buns. This Montana-inspired burger is packed with savory flavor yet leaner than beef.
Equipment
- Blackstone Griddle you could also use a grill or cast iron skillet
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground bison meat
- 1 tablespoon Dale's Seasoning
- Salt
- Pepper
- 3 slices Baby Swiss Cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 Vidalia Onion
- 6 slices of bacon
- 3 Brioche Buns
- Your favorite condiments and toppings
Instructions
- In a large bowl combine ground bison meat, Dale's seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Divide the meat into even portions about ⅓ pound each. Shape into patties that are a little larger than your buns because they will shrink slightly on the hot grill. Place patties on a tray lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Set aside while you prepare the rest of your ingredients.
- Slice the onions into half moons.
- Preheat the Blackstone to medium-high heat. Drizzle with some olive oil and add the onion slices.
- Season with salt and pepper. Let them slowly caramelize for 20-30 minutes, flipping occasionally, until they are as soft as you'd like them.
- In the meantime, place your bacon slices on the other side of the griddle.
- Turn half of the griddle to low heat and move the grilled onions and bacon to that side while you cook the burger patty.
- Place the bison patties on the sizzling hot griddle surface. Let them sear undisturbed for 2-3 minutes to get a nice crust. After those first couple minutes, give them their first flip.
- Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes on the other side for medium-rare doneness.
- As the patties finish cooking, move them to the cooler side of the griddle. Top each one with a slice of cheese so it can start melting.
- Toast or grill the brioche buns on the hot griddle until lightly golden brown.
- To assemble these delicious burgers, place the hot cheesy patty on the bottom bun. Top with caramelized onions, crispy bacon, and any other desired toppings.
- Add the top bun and get ready to dive into beefy, juicy perfection!
- Enjoy these Montana-inspired bison burgers hot off the Blackstone Griddle for the best flavor and juiciness.
