- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 brioche hamburger buns
- 4 slices swiss cheese or cheddar cheese

- Dill pickles
Directions
- 1
Sprinkle salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder over ground bison in a large bowl. Gently mix together.

Get the charcoal briquets going for a charcoal grill or preheat your gas grill to high heat. Place bison patties onto clean, hot grates directly over the heat and grill for 2-3 minutes before flipping and grilling another 2 minutes on the other side. Top with cheese as soon as you flip the burgers so it has time to melt.
- 4
Remove bison burgers from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
