Burger Mix:
1 pound ground bison
1 egg
1/4 cup crushed crackers, or more as needed
2 tablespoons Italian seasoning (such as Club House(R) Italiano)
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 pinch garlic salt
1 pinch ground black pepper
1 pinch coarse salt
Condiments and Toppings:
1 teaspoon barbeque sauce
8 slices cooked thick bacon
4 slices Cheddar cheese
4 burger buns
4 leaves green leaf lettuce

1
Combine ground bison, egg, crushed crackers, Italian seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, garlic salt, black pepper, and coarse salt in a large bowl. Use your hands to form mixture into 4 large burger patties. Place on a plate lined with waxed paper and refrigerate until ready to cook.
2
Preheat grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
3
Grill burgers for 2 minutes. Flip and brush with barbeque sauce. Flip again and cook until burgers are no longer pink in the center, about 8 minutes total. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
4
Turn off the grill. Add 2 slices cooked bacon and 1 slice Cheddar cheese to each burger; close lid and let cheese melt, about 1 minute. Transfer burgers to buns and top each with 1 lettuce leaf.
