Servings: persons

1/2 lb ground buffalo meat (any ground meat will do, we prefer the flavor of buffalo)
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup breadcrumbs (I prefer garlic & herb breadcrumbs)
1/4 onion, chopped
2 mushrooms, chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
salt
pepper
lemon pepper seasoning
2 hamburger buns
2 slices cheddar cheese
pickle
tomatoes, sliced
lettuce
mustard
ketchup

1
In a medium bowl mix the buffalo, egg, breadcrumbs, onions, mushrooms and garlic. Mix until well blended ( I have found the easiest way to mix is with my hands - it pays to get a little messy!).
2
Season to taste with salt, pepper and lemon pepper.
3
Form into hamburger patties. Make the patties thick - almost in the shape of a meatball. The thicker they are the juicier the burger will be.
4
Cook on the grill for 8 minutes on each side. We usually soak hickory/mesquite chips and put those on the grill before the burgers for a nice smoked flavor (we use a charcoal grill). You want to be careful to not overcook these as the buffalo can dry out quickly.
5
Place cheddar cheese on burgers when there is 1 minute left.
6
Put on buns and top with your favorite toppings - tomato, pickles, lettuce, mustard, ketchup.
7
Enjoy the unique flavor of buffalo.
