Burger Conquest “BCA” Lemon and Garlic Marinated Bison Mini Burgers – National Hamburger Month

Burger Conquest “BCA” Lemon and Garlic Marinated Bison Mini Burgers

NATIONAL HAMBURGER MONTH
Day 30

With only 2 days left in National Hamburger Month, my pledge to eat 31 Burgers in 31 days has brought me to eat all kinds of Burgers. I’ve been trying to keep the ideas fresh, the stories unique and make sure I’m not too repetitive. It’s been really hard to not only eat a Burger EVERY DAY but also to keep the writing interesting. So today I asked myself, “what haven’t I done yet?” and that answer, a Burger recipe! Which worked well with my desire to have a Memorial Day BBQ…and impress my friends with my grill skillz.

Burger Conquest “BCA” Lemon and Garlic Marinated Bison Mini Burgers

The “BCA” stands for Bison, Citrus & Allium, the genus of each of the 3 major ingredients of the Burger. This one is a simple way to impress your friends while still making a tasty Burger.

INGREDIENTS

1 LB of Ground Bison
5 Slices of Cheddar Cheese
1 package of either Mini Burger Potato Rolls or the easier to find Hot Dog Potato Rolls
6 Large Garlic Cloves
1/3 cup Fresh Thyme
1/4 cup Fresh Rosemary
1 1/2 tbsp Coarse Salt
1 cup Fresh Lemon Juice
1 1/2 cup Olive Oil
Crushed Black Pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS

Mince up the Garlic with the Thyme, Rosemary & Salt and mash to a paste
Put all of it into a large bowl with rest of the ingredients and whisk until combined
**Option – if you don’t want to make the marinade or don’t have enough time, by a store bought marinade like Lawry’s Herb & Garlic Marinade
Combine all of the the marinade with the ground Bison and mix my hand
If you were able to find Mini Burger Buns, form Meat into Mini Burger Patties. If not, form into 5-6″ long patties
Place into a bowl and drizzle olive oil over the top of each one

Sprinkle a pinch of freshly ground Salt & Pepper over the top

Place into freezer for one hour or into fridge for at least 4 hours
Once removed from fridge or freezer, place on grill on medium-high heat
Cooked until medium-rare, flipping only once

Serve on Potato Roll with a slice of Cheddar and humbly say thank you as all your friends tell you how amazing the Burger tastes.
