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.
