The Bison Blue Cheese Burger features a juicy bison patty topped with rich blue cheese and fresh toppings, delivering a burst of flavor in every bite. This healthier alternative to traditional beef burgers is both satisfying and nutritious.

Ingredients

• bison ground meat - 300 grams
• blue cheese - 50 grams, crumbled
• whole wheat burger buns - 2
• baby spinach - 50 grams
• tomato - 1, sliced
• red onion - 1/4, thinly sliced
• garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• mustard - 1 tablespoon (optional)

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the bison ground meat, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
2. Divide the mixture into 2 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 2 cm thick.
3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the bison patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 70°C (160°F).
4. During the last minute of cooking, place crumbled blue cheese on top of each patty, cover the skillet with a lid, and let it melt.
5. While the patties are cooking, toast the whole wheat burger buns in a separate pan or under the broiler until golden brown.
6. Assemble the burgers by placing a bison patty on each bun, followed by baby spinach, tomato slices, and red onion. Add mustard if desired.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Bison Blue Cheese Burger!
