Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds ground buffalo meat
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
3/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
4 slices American cheese
4 hamburger buns, split

Directions

1. Combine ground buffalo meat, Worcestershire sauce, garlic salt, and pepper in a large bowl; mix well. Form 8, thin patties from the buffalo meat. Each patty should be slightly larger than a slice of cheese.

2. Cut each slice of American cheese into 4 equal pieces; stack the pieces. Sandwich one stack of cheese between 2 ground bison patties. Tightly pinch edges together tightly seal the cheese within the buffalo meat. Repeat with the remaining cheese and patties.

3. Preheat a cast-iron or other heavy bottomed skillet over medium heat. Cook buffalo burgers until well browned, about 4 minutes. It is common for burgers to puff up due to steam from the melting cheese. Turn burgers and prick the top of each to allow steam to escape; cook until browned on the outside and no longer pink on the inside; about 4 minutes. Serve on hamburger buns.
