Ever Have Bison Burgers?

rockygems123 — Thu, 07 Nov 2024 18:04:13 GMT

Have had bison before but found a wonderful recipe that we cooked recently. It can be found here:

Western Bison Burgers with Crispy Onions and Whisky Mayo

They were delicious! Used sliced red onion vs fried as didn't have the time, the sauce was incredible, will use it elsewhere too.

Grilled them on our Cuisinart outdoor / indoor grill recent QVC purchase, that thing gets really hot which I worried about the temp, easy clean-up, love it

@rockygems123 You had me at whisky mayo. Actually, we make bison burgers all the time instead of regular hamburgers because they are considerably less fatty. More expensive than beef though.

@Bookplate

You have to try this recipe then, so stinkin' good.

If you have a Whole Foods they have 14oz? bison packs on sale this week. Not a big savings but it doesn't hurt.

Yes and I love them. Lean.

I use ground bison in my chili recipe. Only $11/lb at my local grocery store.

I've never had an actual bison burger. The meat is so lean i would be afraid they would be dry.

I have used bison in my chili though.

I had a buffalo burger on Route66 while on vacation. It was delicious. Is bison and buffalo the same thing? I think it is.

I've never had any but would love to try one. My friend got hooked on them when she vacationed in the South/North Dakota area. She said there is a meat market near me that carries bison but you have to ask for it and now I don't remember which one it was.

We only had bison burgers once on vaca in South Dakota in a restaurant near Mt Rushmore. I didn't like them...too dry/lean for my taste. I enjoy fatty burgers...

@Icegoddess. It's the fat in meat that gives it juiciness and flavor. I use 7% fat ground beef which is pretty darn lean and a lot cheaper than bison.

@Kachina624 , Yeah, that's why I said I'd be afraid it would be dry. I like a juicy burger. I'd rather have a thick, juicy one than 2 patties of the smashed ones.

I've ordered Bison Burgers in restaurents a few times and they were very good. Since I'm not a fan of ground beef or hamburgers, I don't cook anything like that at home. It was a nice change of taste for me.

@rockygems123 What brand of whiskey do you use. I'm pretty clueless about booze.

@ellaphant Gross? There's nothing gross about bison. And it is excellent. It can be not so good, but then so can chicken, turkey, beef, pork, whatever.

But well raised and well butchered bison is very good!

Here's a hot tip for you .......

If you are making burgers with very lean turkey, bison or whatever, put some mashed avocado or guacamole on it. It makes the burgers very "moist" and that ingredient is quite healthy.

The first time I had avocado on a dry turkey burger, I was surprised how good it was!

I have not, but my son and son in law really like them.
