Steemit Sandwich Contest Week #49 | Bacon Wrapped Bison Burger with Everglades Cactus Dust!
.jpg)
Good day my fellow Sandwich Elves! Yet another week has passed and it is time for Week 49 of @jaybirds Steemit Sandwich Contest.
He says it’s a Royal Rumble of a week, anything goes! So before we get going I want to thank @jaybird for again hosting and sponsoring this contest. We always have so many excellent entries, I know it must be tough to choose.
This week I was really in the mood for a burger. You know, I don’t have too many weaknesses but I do like an occasional burger. I’m back from visiting my daughter, settled back in my own kitchen and ready to cook! I’m thinking a burger with a southwestern flare…how about Bison? It’s very lean, rich and makes a mean burger!
Bacon Wrapped Bison Burger with Everglades Cactus Dust!
I Used
- Organic Ground Bison
- Cherry Smoked Bacon
- Onion
- Fresh Garlic
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Avocado
- Fresh Lime Juice
- Everglades Cactus Dust
- Worcestershire Sauce
- Cayenne Pepper
- Salt/Pepper
- Tomato
- Cilantro
- Pepper Jack Cheese
- Wiggles Dirty Dill Pickles
- Mayonnaise
- Cowboy Hamburger Roll
Prep
Slice onions and saute with minced garlic until translucent. Sprinkle with cayenne. I like to saute the onions ahead of time and then combine with the bison. This gives a bit more flavor and moisture to the onions as they cook with the meat!
When onions are cool enough to handle, combine with bison in bowl and mix thoroughly. Add Worcestershire sauce, Cactus Dust, Pepper and Salt. Combine well.
- Now its time to patty up the bison mixture and wrap one slice of bacon around burger. Use a toothpick to make sure the bacon stays in place! Sprinkle a bit more cactus dust on top! You won't be sorry!
- Grill! Place cheese on top for last 2 minutes. Toast the buns!
- While the burgers are cooking, I made the guac! Mash avocado, add chili powder, diced tomatoes, onions, salt, pepper, lime juice and chopped cilantro.
- Dab a little mayo on the bun, layer your burger (remove the toothpick!), guac on top! And Serve! Oh, don’t forget the Pickles!
- Take a load off and enjoy! Mr. Bird was one happy Cowboy!
I hope you enjoy! Thanks so much for stopping by! Again, thanks to @jaybird, the Sandwich king!
Best of luck to all entries!
and as always, blessings to you all!
Whoa... bacon wrapped bison burger!
Firstly i strongly approve haha.
What’s this cactus dust... lol.
Really diggin this massively homemade piece. Lots of prep, seemed worth it tho ;)
Love all the adds, especially the wiggly dirty pickle haha.
Great pres all around
Yup, bacon wrapped bison! I think you would love it. The cactus dust has a mesquite taste to it and those dirty dills pack a nice dilly punch. Prep really wasn't much, it's fun to create , right? Thanks so much, you always have such kind and encouraging words.
Umm of course I would have loved this!!!
That is one big burger! What is cactus dust? Sounds so cool! Your creativity never ends @birdsinparadise.
You are the creative one!!! I thank you for the kind words @loveself. You are always so supportive, I appreciate you! Cactus Dust is a type of rub/spice mix with Mesquite made in the Everglades, pretty tasty!
Your burger sounds and looks great @birdsinparadise! I've never eaten bison nor tasted cactus dust but all in all looks amazing as always!
Thank you @lizelle, I always appreciate your kind thoughts...you are always so creative! Cactus dust has a wonderful mesquite taste btw!!
Well that's one thing I've never ever eaten - bison!! What does it taste like? We obvsiouly don't have them here...
Well, It has a very mild flavor... not harsh like beef. It is lean, so adding the sauteed onions added moisture. It was rich, something I can't eat too often :) I think the bacon wrap sealed in a lot of the flavors! I hope you'll be able to try it some time soon!
A bit like venison or kangaroo I wonder?
I am soooooo hungry just reading and looking at your post. Can't go wrong on this one :)
Yes, we know those burgers...you have been sharing such beauties, I had to share too! Thanks for your kind words @intrepidsurfer!

Mmmm now that is SOME burger. I haven't tried bison meat though. If we can splurge on getting us organic bison meat, for sure, we'll make bison burger.
