Grilled Buffalo Bacon Burgers

This was a tasty and easy summer meal for a lovely sunny day 🙂 Doing the low carb thing, we used lettuce for our buns, which worked out very nicely. We didn’t miss the bread at all, which was a very pleasant surprise. We grilled up both the burgers and the bacon on the grill. The bacon turned out very well, but it was a pain to clean up the grill afterward, so we probably won’t repeat that bit. However, burgers with lettuce “buns” will definitely be done again and again this summer! We kept this simple with just the burger, bacon, fresh tomatoes, and lettuce, and the simplicity really let every ingredient shine.

Grilled Buffalo Bacon Burgers
Serves 3

1.5 lbs ground buffalo
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 package thick sliced bacon, 1 lb

Preheat grill.

Mix the buffalo with the salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce with your hands until just evenly distributed. Form 3 large patties, about 1 inch thick.

Turn grill to low. Place bacon and burgers on the grates and cook for about 20 minutes, turning the bacon 2-3 times and the burgers just once.

Serve with condiments as desired.
