- 1 lb ground buffalo (bison)
- 1/2 C cooked wild rice
- 1/2 C shredded cheddar
- 3 Tb cranberry mustard (+ more for garnish)
- 1 Tb paprika, preferably sweet Hungarian
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- Salt and pepper, to taste (I find with the rice this needs a good dose…so use at least 1/4 tsp salt and 3/4 tsp black pepper.)
- In small bowl, whisk mustard, garlic, salt and pepper until smooth.
- In large bowl, combine bison and wild rice; gently mix in cheddar and remaining ingredients.
- Form into 4 burger patties.
- Grill over medium heat until desired doneness. Bison is quite lean and cooks quickly.
- Serve on toasted bun with a dollop of cranberry mustard on top.
