Bacon Cheddar Burgers by Lisa Barksdale
As our winner of the first ever Great Range Bison recipe contest, we just love this delicious burger recipe! Our guest judge, Felicia from The Starving Chef loves it too and had this to say about it:
This is now one of MY favorite burger recipes! There’s no frills needed for this classic burger – the charred onions and the addition of Dijon mustard and light mayonnaise go perfectly with the savory flavor of bison.
