Smoked Cheddar Bison Burger w/ Baked Fries


Dinner Tonight: Smoked Cheddar Bison Burger w/ Baked Fries





It was only 32 degrees this morning when I first got up but it warmed up real quick. Turned out to be a
beautiful sunny Spring Day, (Earth Day), and it warmed up to about 68 degrees! I was going to grill out but it looks as though I'm going to have to make some repairs on the grill or perhaps buy a new one as it wouldn't light. So dinner was prepared indoors and I prepared; Smoked Cheddar Bison Burger w/ Baked Fries.



I used my favorite Buffalo Meat, the Wild Idea Buffalo 1/4 lb. Bison Pattie. The last time I placed an order I ordered 3 packages of them, plenty in stock for the early grilling season! I seasoned it with McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Black Peppercorn. I skillet fried it in Canola Oil about 3 1/2 minutes per side. Served it on a Aunt Millie's Light Whole Grain Bun topped with a slice of Bordens Smoked Cheddar. The taste of Buffalo is so much better than Beef, especially Wild Idea Buffalo. It's all on how their raised which makes them taste better than most Buffalo meat. I left a link at the bottom of the post to give you some background on Wild Idea Buffalo.



For a side I got the Potato Fry Cutter out and cut some fresh Golden Potato Fries. I seasoned them with McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Black Peppercorn, Garlic Powder, and just a touch of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Baked them on 425 degrees until done. Served with a side of Hunt's Ketchup. Also had an ice cold Peach Diet Snapple. For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Double Chocolate Pudding.



Wild Idea Buffalo

100% Grass Fed & Free Roaming
Wild Idea bison graze much like their ancestors, eating nothing but the grass beneath their feet. The nutrient dense native grasses they eat, produce a delicious, healthy red meat, rich in omega 3s. Unlike most buffalo, ours are NEVER feedlot confined or corn finished. Our bison are 100% Grass-Fed and Free Roaming, 100% Antibiotic and Hormone Free, 100% Humanely Harvested. Always!


Restore & Reduce
Our food system turns native prairies into grain fields for feedlot animals—not people. It turns a naturally bio-diverse landscape into a monoculture, destroying thousands of species in the process. Our buffalo help restore the land they graze to greater biodiversity. There are no fossil fuels used to plant and fertilize crops, and no trucks moving feed and animals to feedlots.


Decadently Delicious
The incredible flavor of Wild Idea Buffalo's meat is the result of lives more naturally lived. Its clean, rich, slightly sweet taste has subtle notes of grass, sage and we swear—sunshine. Our animals are given respect, dignity and love. They lived and died free so you can enjoy with guiltless pleasure.


Wild Idea Buffalo meat is:

*Lower in calories, fat, and cholesterol than chicken or fish.
*40% more protein than beef.
*Nutrient-dense, flavor rich, outrageously lean, and high in antioxidant Omega 3 fatty acids and vitamin E.
*100% native grass fed – delivering 3.5x more omega-3 fatty acids than grain-fed bison.
*Red Meat That’s Good for You!
