What each ingredient does
- Ground bison
- Forms the patty and supplies the meat, fat and protein that give the burger its body and juiciness.
- Hamburger buns
- Provide a soft, toasted base that holds the patty and absorbs some juices.
The step that matters
Cook until the internal temperature reaches 160ºF. Bison is very lean, so it dries out quickly. Checking the internal temperature rather than relying on color shows when the meat is safely cooked, and avoiding overcooking keeps it moist.
