Bison burgers offer a healthier, more robust twist on an old American standby.
Bison's flavor is often described as a richer version of beef with just a hint of sweetness. It is not gamey at all, and has a deeper red color and coarser grain than beef.
Like many game meats, bison meat is much healthier than conventional grain-fed beef. It’s primary health benefits are its low fat content (less than a third as much fat as similar cuts of beef), lower cholesterol (less than skinless chicken) and high amount of iron. This makes it an ideal red meat choice for those concerned about eating heart healthy food.
Store bison burgers in your freezer until you're ready to use them. For thawing tips, please read
Safely Defrosting Frozen Food for Maximum Flavor.
We do not recommend refreezing unused raw portions.
Use bison burgers as you would beef burgers. Though they have been pre-formed into patties for your convenience, they can also be broken apart for use as ground bison in sauces, meat loafs, meatballs, etc.
When substituting bison for beef in recipes, it is important to take its faster cooking rate into account so it doesn’t overcook and dry out. Because bison is much higher in protein and also a little denser in texture, you’re likely to get full with smaller portions.
Bison pairs well with rich, rustic flavors like chili peppers, beer, cumin, red wine, rosemary, and sage.
