Savory Buffalo Burgers with a Twist
When it comes to burgers, we’re always on the lookout for a leaner, more flavorful option. That’s why we turn to buffalo meat, which offers a mild taste and endless possibilities for seasoning and cooking.
The Perfect Patty
For this recipe, we’re using 1 1/2 pounds of ground buffalo, which yields four generous patties. You can always adjust the size to your liking, but we find that 1/3 pound each is the perfect balance of flavor and portion control.
Aromatics and Flavor Boosters
To add depth and complexity to our burgers, we’re incorporating a few key ingredients. First, we have sun-dried tomatoes, which provide a burst of tangy flavor. We’re using the 365 Brand, which comes in a convenient re-sealable bag. Next, we’re adding minced garlic and onions, sautéed to perfection in hot oil. Finally, we’re introducing a medley of herbs and spices via our “Organic All Purpose” seasoning blend. Feel free to create your own custom mix!
The Assembly
To bring everything together, we’re combining the buffalo meat with our aromatics and flavor boosters in a large bowl. Be sure to “massage” the ingredients until they’re fully integrated. Then, shape the mixture into patties and get ready to cook.
Cooking to Perfection
Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a hot skillet or griddle with oil. Cook the patties for about 5 minutes per side, or until they’re nicely browned. Finish them off in the oven for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F. During the last few minutes, add your cheese of choice and let it melt to perfection.
The Finishing Touches
Once the burgers are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. You can also use the remaining mushrooms to create a rich, savory gravy. Alternatively, top the patties with additional mushrooms and cheese for an indulgent treat.
With this recipe, you’ll be enjoying juicy, flavorful buffalo burgers in no time. Experiment with different seasonings and toppings to make them your own!
