Dinner Tonight: Smoked Cheddar and Mushroom Bison Burger w/ Baked Crinkle Fries

Quite a shift in our weather here in good ole Ohio. From near record highs near 70 degrees over the weekend to 28 degrees with a cold wind here on Monday! Got to keep thinking warm and sunny! Anyway for dinner one of my favorites a Smoked Cheddar and Mushroom Bison Burger w/ Baked Crinkle Fries! I used the last of my Buffalo Gal 1/3 Bison Patties. Their a really good looking plump Burger but overall I think I prefer Wild Idea or Great Range Brand bison, in fact I just placed an order with Wild Idea Buffalo.


I pan fried the Burger on medium heat in Canola Oil about 4 minutes per side. The Burger came out moist and juicy with that fantastic Bison taste. I served it on a Healthy Life Whole Grain Bun topped with Sauteed Mushrooms and a slice of Borden Smoked Cheddar. I left the Buffalo Gal product info and web site link at the bottom of the post. For a side I had a serving of Baked Ore Ida Crinkle Fries. For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding topped with Cool Whip Free.

Suggested Cooking Tips:
Bison burger is lean (ranging from 93-96% lean) so when grilling or pan frying the burger – place it on medium heat – COVER. Allow the burger to do its cooking on one side. Don’t poke, smash or continually flip the burger because you want to maintain all of the moisture and fat in the meat. When burger appears mostly cooked – flip one time and in 30-45 seconds it should be ready to serve. You might find that using a meat thermometer is helpful when first cooking the burger. It should reach 160 degrees internal temp.
