Cooking ground bison

[Thor]

Chinatown in Boston. That's where I got mine.

Man, here I thought I'd never find a reason to go back to Boston...they were great in concert though.

It has a lighter texture.....and not to mention more expensive due the hunting methods used because they usually fly at very high altitudes.

You can sit in a blind and call them in, but the decoys are expensive, and you need a very big shotgun.

From what Meijers did this ground bison come from? Do they all carry it?

Don't know if they all carry it, I found it at the Franklin store.

Took the kids and significant other to Cook's Bison Ranch yesterday, Wolcottville, IN. Neat visit where they got to 'hand feed' (get slimed by really large tongues) bison in the field. Picked up some ground bison and flat steaks to take home.

Nice trip, good folks.

I heard an ugly rumor that English's Buffalo Farm just north of Greencastle in US-231 is closed.

If so it's not because no one was buying the meat/leather, they are a strong and going commodity at this point; I have a pair of H.S. Trask Bison chukka's. Commercial viability saved the bison from extinction. I'm strongly considering a bison hunt this winter...get to keep the head/coat/meat...and it's no harder than the red skins had it while they were driving them to extinction. In point of fact it's probably harder than starting a prairie fire and running them off a cliff.

Stopped in Kroger yesterday afternoon to pick up some fish for supper. They had 90/10 ground bison on manager's special for $5.49(1 lb. pack), so I got all they had.

PhotoNinja is way better at cooking burgers on the grill than I, so she cooked the burgers and I made the sides.

Mine had bacon, cream cheese, and fresh-sliced jalapeno. YUM!!
First time I had a bison burger dressed up like this was at Firehouse Brewing in Rapid City, they call it a South African Cricket Burger.....I call it good!

That looks really good...thanks for sharing! I may have to fix one of those tomorrow.

Those South African Cricket Burgers were highly appreciated by the family. Changed it up a little as I had left over Jalapeno Popper stuffing so we used that instead of straight cream cheese. Cooked it all on our Holland Grill with some brats. I pulled the burgers off about 5 mins before everything else.

The stuffing was 1 package of cream cheese, 3/4 cups of sour cream, garlic, diced onions, chives and a little extra salt. Served it up with some Ranch Beans, the poppers and chips and everyone was most happy.
