Bison Burgers

An All [Paleo] American Dinner
-in honor of the beautiful 68 degree weather the Washington, DC area saw today.


On my way home from the office today all I could think about was sitting on the patio with a gluten free beer and a nice juicy burger.   Unfortunately the suburbs of Arlington VA don't allow for grills and I'm not drinking at the moment.  The next best thing was to open the balcony door, all the windows in the apartment, bust out the grill pan and go to town with what ever I could find in my refrigerator. Having been mildly set back by a bad second degree burn this past week or so, I was beyond ecstatic to get back into the kitchen.  On tonight's menu:  Bison Burgers with Caramelized Onions, Deviled Eggs, Sweet Potato Steak Fries & Grilled green and red Endive.  

Let's Start with the Bison Burgers:


Bison Burger Ingredients:
1lb Ground Bison
1 Egg
1/4 Sweet Yellow Onion (chopped)
1T Horseradish 
1T Garlic
1t Italian Seasoning (I just throw this in without measuring)
1t Chipotle Chili Pepper
1T Spicy Brown Mustard
1/8 - 1/4 C of Almond Meal
Salt & Pepper to taste


*Note:  I am horrible at measuring.  I like to just throw things in a bowl and go with it.  I guestimated here.  You really can't go wrong if you follow these estimates.

 Mix thoroughly with your hands and form into 4 quarter pound patties.

Preheat your grill pan (regular frying pan will work as well) and spray with olive oil spray.


Grill a 3 minutes or so each side until desired temperature. I prefer my burgers medium.  After I was done grilling the burgers up; I sliced 2 endives in half and threw them on the grill pan drizzled in a little Wegmans basting oil.  

Place over a bed of spinach with some tomatoes and cook up some sweet potato steak fries, grill endive and paleo deviled eggs.  


Happy Eating!
