Bison Sliders

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, mix together the ground bison, egg, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, parsely, Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Form meat patties slightly larger than the size of your slider rolls and depress the center with your thumb so that the meat doesn’t shrink while cooking.
  2. Heat a large cast iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Working in batches, cook sliders for about 7-8 minutes or until browned. Turn and continue to cook another 5 minutes. Place cheese on top of each slider and cover with a piece of tinfoil or a lid for an additional 1-2 minutes or until cheese melts. Remove from heat and let rest.
