A little about the BBQ Bison Burger

Bison is an amazing meat. It is gamey, wild, hearty, flavorful and low in fat. This is the perfect meat for anyone who is looking to cut out the fat & grease from their diet.

Unlike beef burgers, bison burgers are less greasy which means they are easier to cook over live fire.
