Ingredients

Makes 4 servings

4 ounces reduced or lowfat sharp cheddar, divided
1 pound lean ground bison
1 small jalapeño chile, finely diced
1 teaspoon grated lime zest, plus more for garnish

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil cooking spray
4 sourdough rolls, split
Sliced red onion (optional)
Lettuce (optional)
Pickled jalapeño (optional)
Light ranch dressing (optional)
  1. Step 1

    Cut 2 ounces cheddar into 1/4-inch dice; grate remaining 2 ounces cheddar. In a bowl, combine diced cheddar, bison, jalapeño, zest, chili powder, salt and pepper. Form bison mixture into four 3/4-inch-thick patties. Coat a grill rack or grill pan with cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat. Cook patties 5 minutes; flip and top each with 1/4 of grated cheddar; grill until internal temperature reaches 160°F, about 5 minutes. Place a patty on bottom of each roll. Garnish with zest and onion, lettuce, pickled jalapeño and ranch dressing, if desired. Top with other half of roll.

  • 我不能吃普通汉堡了。这道菜rocks, and I make it every couple of weeks. Super delish, and everyone I've served to loves it as well.

  • Very delicious. The combination brought refreshing flavor to the bison meat. Easy to pull together and quick to cook. We didn't use Ranch dressing and, although it would have been a nice accompaniment, it didn't detract from the burger.

  • My family and I LOVED this recipe. Terrific bright notes with a slight bite from the jalapeno and a wonderful citrus edge. Definitely a recipe for once a week if you're a beef eater. Remember - choose beef without pink slime!
