  • Prepare the Burger Patties:

In a bowl, combine ground bison, egg, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.

Form into 4 patties.

 

  • Caramelize the Onions:

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Add sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.

Grill the bison patties over direct heat for 4-5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness.

During the last minute of grilling, toast the burger buns on the grill.
