While you wait for the grill to heat upstart prepping your mushroom bison burgers

Chop and saute mushrooms using butter in a small skillet.

When cooking with bison I recommend draining some of the fluids around it before you pull it out of the package to form. It can be a bit on the watery side making it harder to stick together for burgers.

Mix 1/2 of the mushrooms and seasoning into the bison burger.

Form patties by pushing your thumb into the center to create an indent that helps stop the burgers from over-plumping when cooked.
