Burger & Seasonings
- 2 lb ground bison 80:20 or 90:10
- 2 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Bun & Condiments
- 4-6 buns hamburger buns
- 1 tomato sliced
- 1 onion sliced
- Bunch lettuce
- ¼ cup ketchup
- ¼ cup mustard
Instructions
- Weigh and separate ground bison meat into four ½lb or six ⅓lb and form into patties with your hands. Patties should be 1 - 1.5 inches thick.
- Season both sides of the burgers with salt, pepper, garlic (SPG). Don't use too much where you will overpower the bison flavor.
- Pre-heat grill to 425-450°F and clean with grill brush or an onion cut in half.
- Place burgers on grill grates and grill 4 minutes with the grill lid closed. Flip burgers after 4 minutes and cook another 3-4 minutes. Check temperature of burgers with a meat thermometer and cook longer if not cooked enough.
- IF wanting cheeseburgers. Place cheese on burgers when they are 10°F BELOW your desired finish temp and cook another 1 minute with the cheese on the burgers.
- Remove from the grill and place on burger buns. Top with desired toppings and enjoy!

Notes
- Try to use 80:20 meat/fat ratio. 90:10 will work as well.
- Place some jalapenos on the smoker along with the burgers. Slice and use as an amazing spicy topping.
- Don't EVER smash or press the burger down with a spatula when grilling. This will squeeze out all of the juices and make the burger dry.
