Bison Sliders

Bison, or Buffalo, is typically much leaner than beef.  (Less than 2.5 grams/serving compared to 10 grams in beef).  It also has about 30% less calories and more Iron and B12.  Buying organic also means that the animals have not been treated with antibiotics or hormones.  Grass fed, is also better than the concoction that many cows are fed.

I will mix the meat with some garlic, finely chopped shallots, some egg whites, salt and pepper.  I will throw in a little HP sauce or BBQ sauce and some dijon mustard.  Sometimes I will add grated cheddar and jalapeños.

Sliders are a little more fun, in my opinion, and they cook quickly so you can get dinner on the table in minutes.  When you form the burgers, put a little indentation on both sides of the middle so they don't swell up so much in the center and will cook evenly.  I like mine on the rare side so they don't dry out.
