Materials

  • 1 lb ground bison
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tbsp Worcester sauce
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 3 hamburger buns
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 3 slices American cheese

Optional toppings:

  • mayo
  • mustard
  • white onion, lettuce, tomato, pickles

Instructions

  • In a medium sized bowl, add your ground bison. Add in Worcester sauce, salt, pepper, and garlic. Mix gently until combined. (Don't overmix as it will make the meat tough).
  • Using your hands, divide meat into 3 even balls. Gently flatten into ~ 1 inch thick and shape into a circle. Set aside.
  • Heat a cast iron skillet over medium until hot. Butter buns and toast until golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Add patties to your hot cast iron. Cook until nicely seared, about 5 minutes, and then flip. Cook another minute. Then add top with cheese and cover the skillet with a lit of baking sheet. Remove when cheese is melted and internal temp is 130℉ - 135℉ (for medium rare).
  • Serve immediately on toasted buns with desired toppings: mayo, mustard, onion, lettuce, pickles, and tomato.
