Instructions
Preheat grill to medium-high or high heat, about 400 to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. If needed, clean grill grates.
Form ground bison into four equal sized, wide patties, pressing an intent into the center of each. Salt and pepper patties on all sides.
Wipe grill grates lightly with oil, then place bison burger on the grill grate (optionally, add buns around the edge of the grill to toast. This will take about a minute or less - bread browns quickly). Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes before flipping. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until burgers are cooked to an internal temperature of 140 degrees Fahrenheit (medium). Rely less on time and more on the temperature and look of your burgers to determine when they're done. Grill temperatures and conditions can vary greatly.
Remove from grill, immediately spread with pimento cheese, and allow to rest for 1 to 2 minutes before assembling sandwiches. Transfer burgers to buns and top with lettuce and pickles. Serve warm.
Notes
Leftover bison burgers will keep for up to 4 days in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator.
Bison is leaner than beef, and will cook slightly faster than a traditional beef burger.
Want melted pimento cheese? Add cheese during the last minute of cooking, then cover grill with lid.
