I could not find ground beef at the grocery store when I went there. The last package of ground bison on the shelf was what I took home. The air fried bison burgers I made for the family were superior to those cooked on the grill. Juicy, flavorful, and with just a trace of grilled flavor added by the liquid smoke. Everyone remarked on the burgers, which came with a slice of Gouda and toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles. However, only I knew they were made of bison, not cattle.

Excellent, and so easy to make. I didn’t change a thing and we loved them. Thanks!
Changes: no liquid smoke, steakhouse seasoning, finely chopped mushrooms, 14 mins total, 390 degrees F. A little dry. I’d cook less next time.
I made these on the thin side. I cooked them 4 minutes on one side and 3 minutes other side. They were cooked through and juicy. This meat has no fat. You can’t cook them for too long or they will dry out.
We cooked 7 min turned and cooked 2 more minutes. The burgers were well done but at least they were not dry. Next time I will cook 3-4 min on each side.
Turned out super well. I made mote than 4 patties because I like the thinner.
