Recipe By Nate Stutzke, Savory Spice customer and good friend

"4B" refers to the bison, blue cheese, basil, and bacon that give this burger layers and layers of flavor. Try ground bison for a leaner but still flavorful option to ground beef. 

Serving Suggestions

Try using our Buffalo Bleu Dip & Dressing as a spread for the burgers.

This recipe also works with beef instead of bison.

Ingredients

For the burger:




1 lb. ground bison

For the toppings:

4 hamburger buns

1 cup blue cheese crumbles

Directions

Step 1: Make burgers

Preheat grill for medium-high heat. In a medium bowl, mix together Great Plains Bison & Beef Rub, Smoked Spanish Sweet Paprika, and Worcestershire Sauce. Add ground bison and mix with hands until well combined. Form mixture into 4 patties. Grill burgers until cooked through, about 5 min. per side. Toast buns on grill while burgers are cooking.

Step 2: Assemble

Divide blue cheese crumbles among the top of all 4 burgers just before removing them from the grill. Place burgers on toasted buns and top each with beefsteak tomato slices, a small handful of basil leaves, and bacon slices.
