The other night I wanted to add a flavor twist to our usual bison burgers. I had seen a recipe for decadent bacon filled beef burgers in a magazine and I wanted to reinterprete them with about 20g less saturated fat. I found a nice compromise combining nitrate free turkey bacon with grass-fed bison. These burgers have loads of flavor, high protein and they are lean and clean.
Smoky burgers are awesome when we are in Telluride. Here I am before heading home for dinner at my favorite bookstore Between the Covers sipping Americano’s while my little guy munches pastries. This gives me a few minutes on my laptop.
Organic grass-fed bison is a delicious, full flavor, lean source of protein. I usually get mine at Whole Foods. You can also check your local butcher. Some online sources include www.grassfedtraditions.com and www.rockyplains.com.

Wow. I must admit. I have never tried Bison before.
Alison: Bison is so lean & has more flavor than typical ground beef. It is also raised with much more sustainable efforts. I believe it has more iron than typical beef, so that is great for women – especially active ones like us!
I recognized that view of Telluride instantly, although I haven’t been there in years. So gorgeous and I love this recipe. Not sure if I can get bison meat anywhere in my area, though!
I need to give bison a try again! We have a great meat
market here so it’s easily available but it’s been a long time
since I bought any. I must change that and try this burger. I’m
always game for a burger! 😉
Megan: Bison has a much richer flavor than beef & that is why I love it. Also much leaner. Wish I had a butcher here that I loved though.
Gorgeous burgers, Marla. We have been able to get grass-fed
bison from Ole’s work, and it’s been great trying it out in old
recipes and making new ones.
[…] Vinaigrette. I love bison too. I just don’t have any great photos of it. I have a recipe for Bison Bacon Burgers that we love. How about a photo of Bison Chili […]
These look fantastic and will most definitely be a refreshing break from the store brought burgers that we are so used to nowadays! I am definitely gong to try this recipe and give my children some real burgers.
Greatest thanks!
This looks right up my alley, haha.
