Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground bison
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 4 Castello Burger Blue Slices
- 8 slices maple brown sugar bacon
- 4 hamburger buns
- Ketchup
- Arugula
For the maple brown sugar bacon
- 8 slices bacon
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare the bacon. In a small bowl stir together the maple syrup and brown sugar. Set aside. Place a cooling rack on a sheet pan and arrange the bacon in 1 layer on the rack. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the bacon begins to brown. Remove the pan carefully from the oven. Brush the bacon slices with maple syrup mixture and bake for another 3-5 minutes, until the bacon is golden brown and begins to crisp. Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels and set aside.
- In a large bowl add the bison, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper. Using a fork, carefully mix spices into the meat. Be careful not to over mix. Using your hands form 4 burger patties and place on a plate.
- Preheat a pan or grill over medium/high heat. Spray with non-stick spray and lower the heat to medium/low. Cook the burgers 5-6 minutes on each side. The last few minutes of cooking add 1 slice of blue cheese to each burger until just melted.
- Serve each burger on a bun, topped with 2 slices of bacon, ketchup, and arugula. YUM!
