What to remember when
cooking bison.
Do not over cook bison
Put salt on before cooking as this will draw the moisture out.
Cook slowly and at low temperatures.
Have lots of bison on hand. It will be a hit.

Ground Bison
|
| Burgers:
|

Not Over Cook.

Meatballs: (Hot and Spicy with Cranberry Sauce.)
|
| 2 lb. Ground Bison |
| 1 egg |
| 1 onion, finely diced
(you may like to sauté onion) |
| 1 16 oz. Jellied
cranberry sauce |
| 3 T. prepared
horseradish |
| 1 T Worcestershire
sauce |
| 1 clove garlic, minced |
| 2 T honey |
| 1 T lemon juice |
| ½ t. ground red
pepper |
|
|
|
Add beaten egg and
onion to bison. Mix well. Form bite-size meatballs. Brown and turn in oil until cooked. In
medium sauce pan, combine remaining ingredients. Bring to boil, reduce heat, cover and
simmer 5 minutes. Add meatballs, simmer 5 minutes more and serve. (Note: To keep shape of
meatballs, plunge momentarily into rapidly boiling water before cooking. This will also
seal in flavor.)
