Bison Burgers on the Griddle
Grilling doesn’t need to be complicated. Or technical. With the Made In griddle, you can make delicious bison burgers in the kitchen or take them out back.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground bison
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon fresh black pepper
- ½ cup fresh flat-leaf parsley
- ¼ cup grated queso fresco or your favorite cheese
- 4 hamburger buns
- condiments of choice
Instructions
- Preheat the Griddle: Wash your hands with soap and water. Place the griddle on the stove and turn both burners to medium heat.
- Combine the Ground Bison, Salt, & Pepper: Add the bison to a medium bowl. Use a measuring spoon or spice spoon to add the salt and pepper. If you have parsley and queso fresco, add those too. Mix the ingredients by hand.
- Shape the Bison Burgers & Place on the Griddle: Use your hands to shape 4 quarter-pound burgers, about ¼ inch thick. Place the burgers on the griddle so they cook evenly. Wash your hands with soap and water.
- Cook the Bison Burgers for 3 to 4 Minutes Per Side: Cook the bison burgers for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, for medium-rare burgers. Adjust the time based on your preference. For bison burgers with American cheese, add the cheese a minute before they're done. Use the press if you like thin burgers. To seal in the heat while grilling, use the griddle lid. It's available in half and full size.
- Let them Rest: Turn both burners off. Transfer the burgers to a large serving dish or cooling rack to rest for a couple minutes.
- Grab your favorite buns and condiments for a bison burger you won't want to live without.
- Clean the Griddle & Apply Seasoning Wax: Afterward, clean the griddle by hand. Wipe out any excess oil with a towel. Use a plastic spatula for stuck-on food or coarse salt and oil as a scrub. Dry thoroughly with a towel. Place the griddle on the stove over low heat. Apply a light layer of the carbon steel seasoning wax to the griddle using a small towel or wipe. Turn off the stove. Store your griddle and accessories in an easily accessible location.
