I need a recipe for ground bison...

I got some ground bison, and have yet to decide what to make with it.
Any suggestions? I mean, I'm not going to make hamburger helper with it, if you know what I mean - so what am I to do with it?

Actually, Bison Meatloaf is awesome.
Try to find some wild mushrooms. Chantarelles or something to put on top. And use tarragon, rosemary, thyme in a well ground spice mix.
It's really good.
Other than that, salisbury steaks. Or even a "Cottage pie" variety can be fantastic.-
I felt that making bison into a meatloaf was like bastardizing filet mignon into steak pot pie
Heh.
I wish it wasn't ground
I'll definitely think up a rosemary, thyme, wild mushroom dinner though, that sounds good. -
I'd suggest it since the larger mass of the entire piece helps you keep it juicy.
Then do salisbury steaks. or cottage pie.
I actually did a deer cottage pie a while back, with mushrooms in it instead of the usual peas and stuff. Was great. -
Do you mean like a shepherd's pie?
-
Yep, Sheperds pie is lamb or mutton. COttage pie is the same with beef.. So yes..
Beef is closer to bison, thats why i said it.. -
Ahhh Aha! I wasn't sure there for a minute...Hmm, I'll have to think about it...

How about Stroganoff? Simply substitute the ground bison for the beef tips.-
Never managed that one to taste good. Just turns into a messy goulash..
-
Well, if you precooked the meat and formed it - kinda like a meatball (but not really meatballish) I'll bet you could get it to stick together.
you'd need to use eggs, though. -
@csiunatc - Really? That's a shame, that's never happened to me. I've always used my mom's "idiot-proof" recipe.

Burgers? ...or chili-
Love, love, love bison chili.
-
Ooooh, that does sound good...
With some fresh sourdough bread...

I have to agree with bison chili. I make it whenever I can.
And a tip for bison meatloaf - try it with cornbread instead of just bread crumbs or crackers.-
Cornbread, interesting. Doesn't it make it a bit....mealy?

Ground bison??? Is that what you call fat rats?-
You don't want to be under one of the air bison variety. -
It's really a code name for pink donkehs.
-
Good job there is none of those unfortunate creatures on here then!

A traditional Scottish dish is mince and tatties. It is just beef mince fried up with onions, carrot, peas then simmered in gravy and served with mashed tatties (potato).
Pretty basic fare but it would mean you would get the flavour of the bison.
If you really wanted to go for the authentic Scottish experience you could have neeps with it as well (boiled mashed turnip (swede) as the mashed tatties.-
Well that sounds simple enough!

Are you trying to buffalo us?;)
-
Yes!

If you have a recipe for spaghetti and meatballs, make you meatballs with 50% ground bison. Also, try the same with venison. If you have any bison left, I would definitely go for the chili.-
Venison meatballs. Yum! I had a venison bratwurst the other day, not as yum it just didn't have the right texture....

I actually agree with csi for a change. Bison meatloaf is really good. When I lived in Montana I ate a lot of bison because of all the hunting up there. First, take some diced baby carrots, onions & peppers and saute them in some olive oil with some herbs of your choosing. Then add that to the bison, along with an egg, worcesteshire sauce, breadcrumbs, and cranberries and bake at around 400 for about 45 minutes or so (until meatloaf is at 180 degrees). Delicious. The veggies in the meatloaf make it a little more moist--bison is less fatty than regular beef or pork so it can use a little moisturizing. The cranberries add a nice bit of sweet--hard to explain, but they work.
Enjoy!-
Damn, that does sound good.
-
Oh, it is really good--it's truly delicious.
-
Ooooh, yes, I like that!
-
Wow, my mouth is watering, that sounds delish!

I wish I could be a great help for you and share something, but I'm only good at eating..=)-
Sounds like my husband!

Chili is one of the best with bison.
But then again so is bison burgers. Yum!
But if you really want to make a special dish, the bison and fresh diced tomatoes, bell peppers, mushrooms, onions all cooked together. And then used like a sauce over egg noodles or white/brown rice is really good, topped with parmesan or cheddar cheese is a nice finishing touch, served with sourdough bread and butter. Yummy..
I am getting hungry now.. Dinner time is in a couple more hours-
Oooh that sounds good too....
-
... over egg noodles - yes! You just gave me a dinner idea. Thanks
-
lol... I just gave me a great dinner idea too.

My suggestion
1. Pick one or several of the recipes this gentle fellows have been working out
2. Prepare according to specifications
3. Hire me as beta-tester at any stage. Fee = 0$
