Submission by: Eric Neuteboom

Ingredients:

1 lb ground chuck buffalo meat
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
½ a medium sized yellow onion, finely diced
1-2 Tbs vegetable oil
1 tsp fresh chopped Rosemary
½ Tbs Fresh chopped Sage
1 egg
½ cup plain Breadcrumbs
2 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
1 Tbs black pepper
½ Tbs sea salt

4 slices sharp cheddar cheese

4 onion buns

Lettuce, tomato and onion slices

Directions:

1. Heat vegetable oil in skillet on medium-high heat for five minutes.

2. Add onion to skillet and cook for four minutes.

3. Add garlic to onion and cook for an additional minute; remove mixture from heat and allow to cool.

4. In a large bowl, combine bison, rosemary, sage, egg, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire, black pepper, and salt.

5. Add onion and garlic mixture to bowl and mix ingredients thoroughly with hands.

6. Separate into four equal portions and form four patties with an indentation in the center (this will help the patties cook evenly and not “balloon”).

7. Prepare charcoal grill for direct high-heat grilling. When coals are ashed over, add patties to grill. Cook for about 7 minutes (covered), flipping halfway through, until done. Add cheese to patties and cover grill for about 30 seconds, or until cheese has melted. Remove patties from grill, and add buns to grill. Grill buns uncovered for 30 seconds or until lightly toasted.

8. Serve with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, mayonnaise, mustard and plenty of ice cold pale ale. Serves four.
