Ingredients
  

Patties
  • 1 lb 90/10 ground bison
  • 1/2 cup oat flour (or breadcrumbs)
  • 2 tablespoons buffalo sauce
  • 2 tablespoons buttermilk (or 1 tbsp butter milk powder + 1 tbsp milk)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried/ground thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Pinch of black pepper
Hamburger
  • 4 Hamburger buns
  • Lettuce
  • Tomato
  • Onion
  • Blue cheese
  • Extra buffalo sauce

Directions
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine all of your ingredients and mix until it’s combined.
  2. Take a small amount of your mixture and form it into a patty. Repeat this process until you have your desired amount of patties.
  3. This is optional, but it’s recommended that you chill the patties in the fridge for 15-20 minutes to help them firm up if they’re too wet. This will help keep them from falling apart.
  4. Preheat a skillet or grill to medium-high heat (350°F/175°C). Lightly oil the surface.
  5. Cook patties for 5–7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C). Avoid pressing down while cooking to retain juices.
  6. Let burgers rest for 3–5 minutes before assembling your burgers.
  7. Assemble your burgers with your favorite toppings and serve immediately.
