Bison Bacon Cheddar Burgers on Ciabatta

Ingredients

- 1 pound Ground Bison
- 4 slices Cheddar Cheese
- 1 medium Onion, thinly sliced
- 4 Ciabatta Buns
- 4 slices Bacon
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter

Instructions

1. Prepare the Green Egg:
- Preheat your Green Egg grill to 400°F.

2. Prepare Ingredients:
- Slice the onion thinly.
- Season the ground bison with salt and pepper. Form into four equal patties.

3. Cook the Bacon:
- Place a cast-iron skillet on the grill.
- Add the bacon slices to the skillet and cook until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside on a paper towel.

4. Caramelize the Onions:
- In the same skillet with bacon drippings, add sliced onions and sauté until caramelized, about 10-12 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

5. Grill the Bison Burgers:
- Brush the grill grates lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Place the bison patties on the grill and cook for 5 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare.
- Add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty during the last 2 minutes of cooking to melt it.

6. Toast the Ciabatta Buns:
- Split the ciabatta buns and spread butter on the cut sides.
- Place the buns on the grill, butter side down, and toast for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

7. Assemble the Burgers:
- Place each bison patty with melted cheddar on the bottom half of the ciabatta bun.
- Add caramelized onions and a slice of bacon on top of each patty.
- Cover with the top half of the ciabatta bun.
