*Makes 6 burgers
Ingredients
- 2tsp unsalted butter
- 1 cup finely diced yellow onions
- 2Tbsp Canadian whisky
- 2Tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 1/2lb ground bison
- 1tsp powdered mustard
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp cracked black pepper
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 6 thin slices aged white cheddar or maple cheddar
- 6 crusty rolls, such as ciabatta, or any hamburger buns
- Saskatoon Berry + Honey Mustard (Recipe at bottom of page)
How to make it
In a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the onions, whisky, and maple syrup. Cook, stirring, until the onions are soft and golden, about 7 to 10 minutes. Refrigerate until cold.
In a mixing bowl, combine the onion mixture, bison, powdered mustard, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, and salt. Divide into 6 balls. Flatten into patties, each about 4 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick. Refrigerate, covered, for at least 1 hour before cooking to help them firm up.
Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium for at least 15 minutes. Cook the burgers, in two batches, too 160 degrees Fahrenheit, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Add the cheese during the last minute of cooking. Sandwich the burgers in the buns.
