Buffalo Beef Burgers Recipes

Steps:

• Shape the beef into 4 (1/2-inch-thick) burgers.
• Lightly oil the grill rack and heat the grill to medium. Grill the burgers for 10 minutes for medium or to desired doneness, turning the burgers over once halfway through grilling.
• Heat the soup and hot sauce in a 1-quart saucepan over medium heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Top the burgers with the soup mixture. Sprinkle with the cheese. Serve the burgers on the buns with the lettuce, onion and tomato, if desired.
• Serving Suggestion: Serve with carrot and celery sticks with ranch dressing for dipping. For dessert serve chocolate chip cookies topped with vanilla ice cream.
• Cost per recipe: $7.98

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
• In a large stainless steel bowl, combine the ground buffalo, salt, pepper and bread crumbs. Mix by gloved hand for approximately 20 seconds, until seasoning is evenly distributed. Pat into 6-ounce patties, and grill for approximately 5 minutes. Place burgers on buns with desired toppings and serve.

Steps:

• In skillet, heat oil over medium heat; fry diced onion, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Let cool.
• In large bowl, beat egg.
• Stir in thyme, mustard, horseradish, salt and pepper; mix in onion, beef and buffalo.
• Shape into four 1/2-inch (1 cm) thick patties.
• (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 6 hours. Or layer between waxed paper in airtight container and freeze for up to 1 month; thaw in refrigerator.) Place patties on greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and cook, turning once, until no longer pink inside, about 10 minutes.
• Cut rolls in half; place, cut sides down, on grill and toast until golden, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Layer burgers, lettuce, tomato then onion on bottoms; sandwich with tops.

Steps:

• Melt butter and whisk in hot sauce.
• Mix blue cheese and garlic in a small bowl.
• Using your hands, gently mix beef (or buffalo), celery seed, onion and 1/4 cup hot sauce mixture in a medium bowl until blended. Form into 12 patties, using a light touch; the patties should be about 4 1/2 inches in diameter and no more than 1/2 inch thick.
• Spoon about 2 teaspoons of cheese-garlic mixture in center of 6 patties, then top with remaining patties and press together, sealing edges.
• Cover and refrigerate until ready to grill. (Even if you aren't making these ahead of time, I think they hold together better after a little chill time).
• Heat grill to medium and oil grate.
• Grill burgers about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked to taste. (I'll only eat ground beef cooked well, so I cooked a bit longer.) Brush with remaining hot sauce mixture during last 2 minutes of cooking. Toast buns if you like.
• (I couldn't think of many traditional condiments I wanted on this burger, so I just ate mine with extra buffalo sauce and lettuce).

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a bowl, be sure not to over handle! Form into patties and fry or grill.
• Serve as any other burger.
