I like to add chopped mushrooms to lean meats, such as bison or turkey, when using them for burgers - it helps keep them moist, and portabellas have a meaty flavor on their own. A tough of smoky spice and some onions and cheese make these burgers ex... More

Ingredients
  • 1 lb. ground bison
  • 1 tsp. cumin
  • 1/2 tsp. chipotle chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp. dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
  • 3/4 cup chopped portabella (or cremini) mushrooms
  • 1/4 finely chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 Whole Wheat Buns

Directions
  1. Preheat grill or pan over medium high heat.
  2. Combine ground bison, cumin, chipotle chili powder and herbs, blending to distribute seasonings thoroughly.
  3. Add mushrooms, onion and cheese and mix until combined. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Divide mixture evenly into four sections and form into patties.
  5. Place burgers on grill and reduce heat slightly. If pan-frying these, you may want to add a little oil and/or butter to prevent patties from sticking) Grill 3 to 5 minutes, flip over and grill an additional 3 to 5 minutes.
  6. Serve on toasted whole wheat buns with your choice of garnishes - more sauteed mushrooms, carmelized onions, and some chipotle ranch dressing are my faves!

Hi Christine....I hope that you remember me asking in the AR exchange about bison a few months back...I was goin to try it for the first time and make burgers, and you gave me this recipe.....I made and loved it. This recipe was my first introduction to this meat and was excellent! I am so glad to see it here!! Lori


Hi Lori! Thanks so much for the compliment! I do remember you posting something on the AR exchange - it was the first time someone gave me a "shout" on the exchange - made me feel special! ;) Thanks again! Christine


Thats right it was a "shout out"!!! LOL....I almost forgot.....your welcome, and thank u for a great recipe!


Hey Christine! Made these, tonight, using venison, I hope you don't mind! :) My boyfriend grew up in Montana, so he's no stranger to bison, but around here, we don't see so many of those. ;) (I know you can buy it, but we have SOO much venison! :) Anyway, they were fantastic. I followed the recipe other than the above, and I used fresh herbs instead of dried, and probably doubled the chipotle. They were firm, but not dry, and full of flavor. Served them with Muenster cheese, fresh lettuce and tomatoes, and we had Chefelaine's French Fried Potato Skewers along side, with my own dipping sauce. Thank you for the recipe. I added a photo, but please just remove it if you don't like it! :)
