Bison Burgers and Sweet Potato Fries: Gourmet Fast Food @ Home!

I hardly ever eat ground beef. I try to make everything with turkey or even better: BISON (buffalo). I highly recommend it. It's leaner, has more protein, and for whatever reason, it's cheaper that a pound of lean ground beef at my grocery store. 

Ingredients:

For the Burgers:

1 egg

2 tsp worchestershire sauce

1 tsp dry mustard

1 tsp minced garlic

1/4 green onions (I just used white onion because that's what I had)

1 tbsp horseradish

1 lb ground buffalo/bison meat

For the Sweet Potatoes:

4 sweet potatoes

1 tbsp water

2 tsp Italian Seasoning 

1/2 tsp Lemon Pepper

S&P

2 tbsp olive oil

1. Preheat oven to 400. In a bowl, beat egg then add worchestershire sauce, dry mustard, garlic, onions, and horseradish. Mix together, then fold in bison until all ingredients are mixed together. Form into four 1/4 patties. Cover and refrigerate.

2. Place 1 tsp water and the sweet potatoes in a steamer and heat in the microwave for 5 minutes.

3. Place the potatoes in a gallon size bag and top with Italian seasoning, lemon pepper and olive oil. Toss until seasoning coats the potatoes. Next, spread the potatoes out on a baking sheet and season with S&P. Place in the oven for 30-35 minutes, turning once, so they are crispy. 

4. While the potatoes are cooking, begin the buffalo burgers. Cook for about 3-4 min on each side, then flip again and cook 6-7 minutes until they are well done.

I didn't have buns so I put my burgers on a slice of romaine lettuce, muenster cheese and then topped with BBQ Sauce. I was also really in the mood for broccoli so I steamed some of that as another side.

Enjoy!
