Buffaloed Buffalo Burger w/ Baked Potato

Dinner Tonight: Buffaloed Buffalo Burger w/ Baked Potato



This morning I made something for Breakfast I haven't had in quite a while, Eggo's! I love those

things, just never think about them when I'm in the store. But as I was going through the frozen Food Section of Meijer I seen them and grabbed a box of the Eggo's with Nutrigrain. These are lower in calories than the normal ones. Outside the weather is still the same hot, humid, and muggy! Hopefully that changes tomorrow and gives us some relief. Got the leaf blower out early this morning and blew out all the leaves and such around the house. Back inside had some computer work to catch up on and that was about it. For dinner tonight a new recipe, Buffaloed Buffalo Burger w/ Baked Potato.




I came across a recipe for Buffalo Turkey Burgers so I thought I would convert it over to a Buffaloed

Buffalo Burger.I had a 1 lb. package of Wild Idea Buffalo Ground Round, 99% Lean in the freezer so I let it thaw in the fridge overnight. To make this Buffalo creation I'll need; 2 tablespoons Frank's Hot Sauce (divided), 2 teaspoons Roasted Ground Cumin, 2 teaspoons Chili Powder, 2 Garlic Cloves (minced), 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt, 1/8 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper, 1 pound Wild Idea Buffalo Ground Round - 99% Lean, 4 Kroger Lite Wheat Buns, 1 cup Shredded Lettuce, and 2 tablespoons Litehouse Lite Blue Cheese Dressing. I knew this was going to be good with all these ingredients!



So to prepare it I started by combining 1 tablespoon hot sauce, cumin, chili powder, garlic, salt and pepper, in a large bowl. Add the Buffalo and mixed lightly but thoroughly. Shape into four 1/2-in.-thick patties. In a large skillet coated with cooking spray I cooked the burgers over medium heat about 4 1/2 minutes on each side or until the burgers had a nice char on the outside and medium rare on the inside. Always remember when cooking Buffalo, or Bison if you prefer, meats that Buffalo gets done a lot quicker than Beef or Turkey because it's so lean. I served burgers on buns with lettuce, blue cheese salad dressing and remaining hot sauce. A 1 lb. package will make 4 Burgers. The Wild Idea Buffalo Burgers are good every time but this kicked up version takes a couple of notches higher! Moist, juicy, and delicious. The combo of the hot sauce and blue cheese is perfect with the buffalo. Another Keeper Recipe.




And if having Burgers you got to have Potatoes, and I love Potatoes. So I had a Baked Potato. I
seasoned it with McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Peppercorn Medley and topped it with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding.

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!
