How to use this list
Shop for the listed items: ground bison, brioche hamburger buns, blue cheese, arugula, red onion, barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, kosher salt, black pepper, and butter. Begin by mixing the ground bison with Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Form six equal patties. Prep toppings—slice the red onion, crumble the blue cheese, and wash the arugula. Toast the buns in butter before assembling. Grill or pan-cook the burgers, then top with blue cheese, arugula, onion, and barbecue sauce.
What to skip
Don’t substitute regular hamburger buns if you want the full flavor and texture; brioche holds up better with juicy bison. Avoid skipping the blue cheese—it’s a key flavor here. Using ground beef changes the taste and leanness. Don’t overload with extra toppings not on the list, or you’ll mask the bison and blue cheese.
What is on this list
You’ll need 2 1/2 pounds ground bison, 6 brioche hamburger buns, 6 ounces blue cheese, 3 cups arugula, 1 large red onion, 1/2 cup barbecue sauce, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and 2 tablespoons butter. Cross off pantry staples like salt and pepper if you already have them.
Day-of prep
Chill the bison until just before shaping the patties. Preheat your grill or skillet before cooking. Have all toppings prepped and ready for fast assembly. Serve the burgers as soon as they’re cooked, while the cheese is melty and the buns are warm. Clean up the grill or pan promptly to avoid stuck-on residue.
